The Daily Haiku

A world of five - seven - five. At one time daily, now kind of sporadic.

Current theme: A is for Arcturus

For ABC Wednesday

Great star Arcturus
Nearly 26 times the size
Of our yellow sun

Blustering red giant
Alpha star in the plowman
Boötes near Ursa

Yet in hidden words
Alchameth to Agrippa
Behenian star

Very cool A!
I am a star gazer.
Looking forward to sharing your poem with my husband.
He will enjoy it too.
Thank you.

The big yellow one ...
Mid-solar system, right there.
That's the sun, my friend.
