Poetry Friday - Special Universe

        It really was a juicy little universe this week with the super-blood-moon-total-lunar-eclipse event, and a perfect punctuation mark at the end for Poetry Friday is Heidi Mordhorst, our host, whose blog name IS My Juicy Little Universe. This time she's also sharing something called #diversiverse. Be sure to check it out. Thanks, Heidi!

Not the best photo, but it is MINE, because this is where
I watched the supermoon and the eclipse, a nearby park!

         Over a week ago, Writer's Almanac shared a poem by Billy Collins. I don't know when he wrote it, but it made watching the eclipse last Sunday even better. I know we have many things to be grateful for, including that supermoon, and so does Billy Collins. I'm sharing it today in case you missed it.

 As If To Demonstrate an Eclipse   ~   Billy Collins

I pick an orange from a wicker basket
and place it on the table
to represent the sun.
Then down the other end
a blue and white marble
becomes the earth
and nearby I lay the little moon of an aspirin.

       the rest can be found here.
