Image: C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy) is a
long-period comet discovered on
17 August 2014 by Terry Lovejoy (here)
(by sheer coincidence tomorrow
is the 4th anniversary of the discovery)

On a night cool and breezy
As it progresses nonchalantly
In motion the likes of sweet poetry

A poem lovely as....
a flower in bloom makes its entry

A stunning damsel in all innocence
The focus of all aspiring attention
Skipping along devoid of hindrance

A poem lovely as .....
the rainbow emblazoned invokes questions

Do I stand a chance
To entice her for a dance?

  7. After being compared to a flower and a rainbow, how could she possibly say no?

  14. Is it every year that C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy) appears, probably not as most aren't. I do hope you can see it though whenever it comes.
