A Nasa image of comet ISON nearing the Sun A one time visitor came whipping around Whipping around on a wild ride The comet, a fossil of early times Five and a half million years ago The gigantic Oort cloud sphere of rocks Around the Solar system stands so large A slight shake and a nudge here and there The rock pieces pulled out of its zone Tumbled into the inner home And went wayward on a free fall With a wide lump of ice now on the rock This icy debris dancing drunk hurrying Like Icarus it sought to touch the Sun The fiery tryst as it grazed Will leave it roasted and frying If it survives on luck by chance, Soon get brighter and can go flying A hyperbolic gallop around the Sun just one time The sun got sucking its snowball ice Once there came a chance to see the magical comet In the night sky of Christmas season Reminding how the three wise men Patiently waited to see what a star revealed When a wandering star soon stood still to see Shining at a height Silent on a cold December night When Jesus our saviour was born Of the lovely Virgin Mary In a manger in Bethlehem The story of two thousand years and more Now the year old Comet ISON ( Eye'-shan) is dead Broken by the wear and tear it endured Young t'was to handle the might of the Sun In our memories it will forever be A twinkling wandering star in the sky By J K Roseline

Love how you wrote about the Comet Ison. I really wanted to see it. But did not look up where the best time and viewing areas were. I thought they stated that it did not get destroyed like they thought might happen. It survived. I just love how you wrote about it. wonderful poem and awesome picture.

Yes it seems to have gotten its backside singed as it went
on the backside of the sun. But it's still intact.

I hope to see it sometime soon myself J. Hopefully there will enough left after the sun has finished sucking some of its snowball ice. I remember another comet that was easy to see in December several years ago. Of course some of the everpresent nuts had to kill themselves because they thought it was a spaceship just for them. Bob

Yes, comets are one of the special parts of the solar system that leave us in awe of how things work. There are many theories about the star that appeared when Jesus was born. I won't comment on that because I'm not really an astronomer or an expert on those theories.

Enlightening and informative poetry.

I've been following the Comet ISON's trajectory for the past few days. It seems it has survived it nearness to the sun, surprising the scientists.
