The Big Dipper

Filed under: Poetry — julie @ 2:23 pm

A shining ladle
Starry outline visible on a clear, dark night
In the sky…
Shining high above,
Dipping into the boiling pot of sky
A mystical pattern in the stars.
Who would be able to use
A ladle so big,
Anyway?
And how did all those stars
Arrange themselves into a ladle?
And why a ladle, anyway?
At first nothing makes any sense
Looking up at
The Big Dipper…
