Diamonds Fall

A Planetary Tale

By Diana AndersonPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

On Saturn, diamonds fall instead of rain.

This giant planetary ball of gas

circles in its starry, dark terrain

with jagged rings of stony ice, a reign

majestical in its tan and stripèd brass.

On Saturn, diamonds fall instead of rain.

And Galileo saw with awe sustained

the helium and hydrogen canvas

that circles in its starry, dark terrain

before another soul saw that space contained

this spherical gravitational mass.

On Saturn, diamonds fall instead of rain.

A planet marvelous does entertain

the stargazers’ scopes on night-time grass

that circles in its starry, dark terrain.

Space includes in its eminent domain

dark and spinning crownal glass.

On Saturn, diamonds fall instead of rain,

While it circles in its starry, dark terrain.
