Growing Up starry Eyed:

Saturday nights, a college campus greets high school students,
It's cold in Madison, Wisconsin, and white snow blankets ground.
Saturday nights, an observatory dome, old, greets young adults, new.
Astronomy class meets, outside time, searching within space,
A special time, a special place, young at heart with an open mind.
Being taught by a teacher kind, constellations you can find.
Barely twinkling in cold air, Orion, Hunter, a nebula fair.
Saturn dances with his princess' rings,
Jovial Jupiter & his daughter moons.
A universe unfolds slowly, partially,
And the chill is meaningless beside it.

What class is your star?

Author's Comments

I took an exceptional class in exceptional times.
There was another in Earth Sciences, learning local
flora & fauna for a start, trips to woods and fields,
the International Crane Foundation in Horicon, Wi.
These were things I loved. Thank you, Malcom Shabazz
High School, there were things done well there.
