Astronomy meets classical writing

Dancing butterfly had fun writing this couplet - she extended it to cover the whole of the solar system. An  this time mum didn't  manage to join in the effort.... 


            Space

 

Up in space I see the golden Sun,

Beside the sun sits Mercury the one.

 

Mercury’s friend, hot but rock, Venus stands,

Perfectly great earth comes next with lands.

 

Mars is next, red orange with holes still,

Jupiter and Saturn are doing quite well.

 

Uranus rolls and looks sleepy and blue,

Neptune looks like it has the flu.

 

Pluto’s friends are comets I think,

And spaceships go up while I write with ink.

 

Stars sit up in the amazing space,

But I think that’s enough for this place.

About Me

Reflections on life and homeschooling from my rose garden. My focus is my three kids, Dancing Butterfly, Einstein and Happy-Feet, the way God speaks into our lives, and the lessons we learn. Officially we us a Classical Approach to our home-school, but I think that's often just the framework for my sanity. As we live in New Zealand, and enjoy nature and photography theirs likely to be a little of our local nature studies as well.
