Summer

Summer draws to close
As days get shorter the sun
Shuts it's sleepy eyes

Carl Sagan Inspired Haiku #1 Star Dust

This Haiku is inspired by a quote from Carl Sagan. It comes from Cosmos: A Personal Voyage. He was so simply eloquent himself. I think I am going to do a series of them.

 Carl Sagan Quotes
"Some part of our being knows this is where we came from. We long to return. And we can.
Because the cosmos is also within us. We're made of star-stuff. We are a way for the
cosmos to know itself."





We of flesh and blood
See the vast wonder of space
We are star dust too

Closed Eyes

Few men get to see
The beauty that is the world
Through foolish closed eyes

History Mystery

I know this one is 5-8-5 but I could not justify abbreviating
or substituting another name for Galileo's just to fit into the
line of 7 syllables! I had thought of substituting da Vinci in
there but he is/was thought of as an artist and not a scientist.



Greatest of all time
Galileo Newton Einstein
Its all relative
