Haibun-Haiku: Morning Star

Venus Morning Star

diamond in the predawn sky

a new day begins

This morning, when I went out to pick up the paper, I saw Venus again. Venus has been in the predawn sky for the several days now. Today saw Venus alone in the sky, with neither the moon nor another planet near. For the past few days, either the moon, another planet, both were in the sky with Venus. I am not sure whether the other planet was Jupiter or Saturn, I think it might have been Jupiter.

Venus the Evening Star

Venus shining bright
Near waning October moon
Beautiful evening

Last night, I went out to roll up my car windows and make sure that I locked the doors. When I looked up, I saw Venus near the waning moon; it was beautiful with Venus shining a bright diamond in the evening sky. I need to go outside in the evening more often.
