This morning, Glorious

caught Venus on a clear morning..

A tilley lamp
of Venus held,
immaculate, on solemn spurs
commands the fetid soul
to flourish, purged of
rancid frippery,
At last!, that mitred puritan
from white and treeless latitudes
returns a term of Nordic lore
to thorn this morning glorious.

Thank you John, much appreciated my friend. To be honest, it was all just there in front of me- a crystal morning, with Venus so bright, it looked pointed! Working early hours definitely has its advantages beneath these winter skies.

All the very best to you my friend.

I enjoyed your work and you are welcome my friend.

This is why we should look up more.
We don't get to many shots at the planets in our solar system. Especially that big yellow thing that heats us up.

Paul, you are right on the money!...
One of my little maxims is "Eyes on the Skies" because there is much wonder to behold..
So many folk walking along with their heads down looking at their phones- breaks me bloody heart!

Thank you my friend!!

best wishes to you

It took me a long time Alistair to be honest, to express myself openly. But now I can not stop myself. Oh well. what do you expect from a woman to be honest. And thanks Alistair for your kind words to me. bless you. Dawn.

[Alistair (Ali)]

Absolute pleasure Dawn- and I'm so glad for you that you have found that freedom of expression- it is both beautiful and liberating and allows us to explore the World in colors that we have yet to name...
Nice one Dawn!
