Solar Astronomer

White haired savant
she sits, pencil in hand,
with the sun in her arms
drawing it's spots.

Interesting little poem, Pete, especially the last line.

The words go together well, interestingly, (haven't had my coffee yet this morning) but you haven't sold it to me - I don't see it. . . .

like I said - haven't had my coffee yet this morning.

I was watching a TV programme on solar astronomy. There was a white haired lady, sitting on a small stool projecting an image of the sun from her telescope onto a sketch pad cradled in her arms whilst she drew / traced the sunspots.
