Astronomical
As the comet streaks across the wide sky
Draws attention away from other stars
Overshadows moon as you see it fly
Comet trail covers view of planet Mars
During daylight the comet can't be seen
As the comet streaks across the wide sky
Throughout night becomes a magnificent scene
Stars steadily shine as comet flies by
Astronomical bodies seem big to the eye
When looking through telescope appear near
As the comet streaks across the wide sky
Cloudless skies help observe space objects clear
Every stargazer takes this opportune time
To make a wish without reason why
Poets also capture the rhythm and rhyme
As the comet streaks across the wide sky
