In the dynasty Han Chinese
nearly two thousand years ago,
sky-watchers could witness with ease

Brilliant as always, I certainally see why you admire the great poet Keats, your ending is what I think of many times...though they appear to be fixed in space..caught in the act, by the time we see it, change has already taken place, the fact that it lingered for 8 months in itself speaks mathematical volumes as to the enormity of the event, you will always be at the top of my list of poets, I always read your poems with fascinating eagerness, I join with Kelly Kurt...BRAVO! ! ! !
Ah, your words do my heart good! Yes, indeed that must have been a spectacular occurrence. I’m pleased that you picked up on the ending and how it tied the themes of the cosmic event and the Keats poem together. Thank you very much for your great encouragement and support!
One of my favorite reads in a long time. I can tell the time and effort put forth to create it. Bravo!
Your comment is much appreciated! It is gratifying that you noticed my labors, and I am truly pleased that you enjoyed the entire poem. Thank you so much!
Harley, you seem to have two poems in one. I prefer a separation. The first should end after the twelfth stanza. The second seems to lose its integrity and needs to be rewritten. I think the first poem is magnificient.
You seem to have read the poem quickly. For me, it has its own kind of unity. I took a long time composing this and am satisfied. Of course, feedback is welcome, but my poem is what it is… I am reminded that first responses to the Keats poem in 1820 were highly unfavorable. In reaction to the final couplet, one review said the following: “That is, all that Mr Keats knows or cares to know.—But till he knows much more than this, he will never write verses fit to live.”

I am a man of science, thought, philosophy, logic and the now. I think your style, your ability, mirror mine. A number of nebulae have been traced to historic documents of their novae births. I could not help but want to read this. Nature, existence, are part of my 60 year reality; invariable, understandable, repeatable.
Among my poems, I have written many about astronomy. It is a subject that interests me greatly. Thank you for reading my poem and for commenting.
