The Night Sky Can you feel the cool air? Can you see the sparkles in the sky? Can you see the crescent moon? Can you see the bright star? I can see the meteor Creating a bright trail in the sky. I can see Polaris, the North Star Hanging thirty degrees in the sky. I can see Venus brightly shinning Following the sun to the horizon. I see the Pleiades A local cluster of stars. And I see Orion Filling the eastern sky. A soft cool breeze Blows through the trees While I sit here watching the stars.                               Eric D. Sharp
