Northern Cross
A poultry flock through Cygnus flew
almost beyond my sight...
so appropriate thereunto
they really made my night.
So silently they crossed the sky
northwest to Dipper stars
where dauntless flocks all learn to fly
like avian hussars.
Strange that I heard no honks therefrom
in all their midnight flight.
Did they to Lyra's spell succumb
or were they just polite?
I think 'twas acme Cygnus
preeminent above
that had the squadron virtuous...
in plumy gaggle love.

Good nights for sky watching ✨

About ten years ago, I moved to a smaller town and right away I noticed how bright the stars were here. Now that the city is growing there is more light pollution and I'd have to drive out further to enjoy them. I downloaded an app that names the stars and constellations when you point your phone at the sky. I know I must look a little weird to strangers when I'm pointing my phone at the night sky.
Either way, great work MS. Always enjoyable reads.

Those apps are really great for learning what's what up above.
Lots of light pollution where I'm at but I still look when I can 👀
