One of my Aussie Poems: Southern Cross.

Southern Cross

O wonderous Southern sky
how I ponder upon thee
in my lonliest hours.

O beautiful Southern sky
forever looking down on me
I never know your thoughts.

O perfect Southern sky
you know how I feel you
but you never acknowlege me.

O my perfect Southern Cross
five brilliant diamonds
bluish white corona extending.

Greetings and Salutations.

Billy

I liked the one where you could see it very clearly but it was surrounded by a myriad of smaller stars - very pretty.

Re: One of my Aussie Poems: Southern Cross.

I'm looking at it now!
In the sky right now but its raining here and a bit fuzzy,sometimes it is massive,other times its small,i have tried to upload a pic from google but cant,i am charging my camera batteries now so will get a pic on a clear night.

When the time is right i will try get a pic of the Southern Lights,Aurora Australis!

Re: One of my Aussie Poems: Southern Cross.

I would love to see that billy. I love the night sky and actually have a large book on constellations! I think my avatar gives it away that I quite like stuff like that (but I'm not knowledgeable about it, I just like looking at it).
