Your haiku paints a vivid, cosmic picture using just a few words. It personifies Jupiter as lonely, maybe highlighting its distance and isolation out in space. Describing it as "sparking below god's toenail" adds a touch of whimsy and imagination, likening a distant celestial glow to something tiny and overlooked, like a spark under a giant’s toenail.
The mention of "sunset's afterglow" ties it back to Earth, connecting the vastness of space with the familiarity of a sunset. It's a beautiful blend of the grand and the intimate, all captured in a brief moment.
Jupiter is in astrological news currently and when I read your post, I imagined an artwork with your comic and all the headlines. Thank you, Jason, a little poetry brings out life’s beauty.
Oh so good….. 🙏🏼 sparking - it speaks to me on a personal level as my youngest son’s nickname since a young age - Sparky. He was a born comedian and miss his calling! He still lights up a room when he walks through the door! I have shortened his nickname to Spark ⚡️ as it is still there …..

Spark, Sparky …. Sparking ☀️
It's good to know how you observe the sky like that
I see myself doing this all the time
but I'm still going to spend more time with each word chosen for the Haikus like you do
my inspiration ✨
What a perfect class in the dance of word choice in writing. Wonderful. And again, sending this to my young writers in training. Thank you so much!
This one is really beautiful!
