phoenix overhead
unable to rise high enough
for all to see
Carpe Diem #826 Pyxis (Mariner’s compass)
mariners compass
outlasts the Argonauts ships
shining in the sky
Pegasus out shines
the first horse, Equuleus
in the night sky
steed to the gods
racing through the heavens
on a stary night
~~~
oh, winged horse
give me a ride, carry me
through the starry sky
let my ride be favored
d
o not let me perish
Carpe Diem #821 Monocereos (Unicorn) Carpe Diem #822 Octants
Two constellations that I was unfamiliar with and that were not connected to Greek Mythology
Monoceros gallops
through the heavens
Canis on it’s back
**************************************************************************************
Circumpolar to the South Pole Octans can be seen in Southern Hemisphere from anywhere at any time of the year.
While looking up information on Octans I found a Poem titled Octans by Tim Jones that tells all about the constellation. You can read it here: Octans
nondistinctive guide
around the Cape of Good Hope
the lowly Octans
Carpe Diem #818 Grus Be sure to visit our host Chèvrefeuille site to read all the mythology related to Grus the crane.
Oh Petrus Plancius
you removed the fishes tail
creating Grus
~~~
the white crane dances
in the southern heavens
nearby phoenix watches
