Kinda had to go there – The Opposition of Mars. (Go here for more info)
The Opposition.
looking up: the orange and blue
It’s Mars and Spica.I had zero doubt:
The bright orange dot up high
Soft blue Spica low.Mars, orange and ice capped
it’s summer there, ice melted
martians on va-kay.As mars travels ’round
in the planetary mix
we meet near or far.
Kudos to Rebecca Fedler over at Coordinated Mayhem for a wonderful poem in the Golden Shovel form written for day five. At the bottom of her poem she explains what it was all about.
