Have I asked you before,
if you wanted to go,
to the first performance,
of a brother, travelling show?

The music is unique,
in a peculiar way,
non rhyming words,
were asked not to stay.

Lessons were learned,
in the performance room,
don't allow bass drums,
to go Boom! Boom! Boom!

The windows rattled,
a breaking of glass,
crashing to the floor,
a performance blast.

A sugar-coated wafer,
or a chocolate tree,
is way too much sugar,
for diabetic me.

Whipped cream roses,
a marshmallow bush,
with jellybean path,
with Oreo crust.

On gossamer wings,
it states in a poem,
flying to somewhere,'
going back home.

The loneliest song,
I've ever heard,
the whispering voice
of a chirp less bird.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Why is Polaris called the North Star? First, Polaris is the nearest bright star toward the north spin axis of the Earth. Therefore, as the Earth turns, stars appear to revolve around Polaris, but Polaris itself always stays in the same northerly direction -- making it the North Star. Since no bright star is near the south spin axis of the Earth, there is currently no bright South Star. Thousands of years ago, Earth's spin axis pointed in a slightly different direction so that Vega was the North Star. Although Polaris is not the brightest star on the sky, it is easily located because it is nearly aligned with two stars in the cup of the Big Dipper. Polaris is near the center of the eight-degree wide featured image, a digital composite of hundreds of exposures that brings out faint gas and dust of the Integrated Flux Nebula (IFN) all over the frame as well as the globular star cluster NGC 188 on the far left. The surface of Cepheid Polaris slowly pulsates, causing the famous star to change its brightness by a few percent over the course of a few days. Explore Your Universe: Random APOD Generator

Telling me, this story,
you're telling me why,
it's ok for
a grown man to cry

If I said I loved you,
would you stay here with me,
or would my world crumble
when, you've decided to flee?

If you think you know me,
better think again.
I will always trust
you, as my friend,
but friend or not,
no money will I lend.

Lost, alone, are we,
striving to make do,
always a struggle,
but it is what we pursue.

We met,
in past life.
We were married,
You weren't my wife.

My memory wanes,
thoughts I once knew,
are now gone. My
question, who were you?

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

To some, it looks like a giant chicken running across the sky. To others, it looks like a gaseous nebula where star formation takes place. Cataloged as IC 2944, the Running Chicken Nebula spans about 100 light years and lies about 6,000 light years away toward the constellation of the Centaur (Centaurus). The featured image, shown in scientifically assigned colors, was captured recently in a 16-hour exposure over three nights. The star cluster Collinder 249 is visible embedded in the nebula's glowing gas. Although difficult to discern here, several dark molecular clouds with distinct shapes can be found inside the nebula.
