tonight

    hello, once again, deborah
    trusting tonight, you'll observe the leonids...
    should your skies be cloudy, they'll be viewable for the next three nights.

    while i have you here, a peaceful, blessed thanksgiving day.

    leonids--
    tho i'm 3 hours ahead
    sleep evades me

    -

    same moon, same leonids--
    prattling rain

    Bob,

    Unfortunately, I have to drive away from Los Angeles to see meteors due to the light pollution here. I won't be able to fit in a drive to the desert or up Angeles Crest Highway during the leonids this year.

    leonids
    the bend in the road where I watched
    before

    Really liked this as well!

    If anyone else has astronomy/night sky haiku I'd love to see them!

    deb,
    "light pollution", i'd not thought of the abundance of light this way; with such clear wording.
    man's ironic ways has done it again; something wonderful taken to extremes.

    perchance, anyone thinking to turn off all lights worldwide for 5 minutes, to address this issue.

    autumn darkness
    my mind
    reels from the starlit field
