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.

the bend in the road where I watched

my applause for this good haiku!
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.

reels from the starlit field
