APR 10 (2022): Aerial Chorus: WHAT'S UP? [3]

CURRENT CONTENTS

Contrails and chemtrails
Eos 221 (Dawn's endless night)
Honk (geese in-formation)

 

Author's Note: In previous verses at OEDILF, there is a discussion of contrails, and of chemtrails. Conspiracy theories have been discussed at length with various interpretations, as seen here.

Author's Note: The asteroid known by astronomers as 221 Eos is apparently a large orbiting body with a diameter of over 100 km. It has a potential, should it strike the Earth, to bring about an extinction similar to that produced 60 million years ago that wiped out the dinosaur population.

  Like most heavenly bodies, this one was named after a figure from Greco-Roman mythology, Eos (Aurora), the Goddess of Dawn; the irony is apparent. Click HERE for another nonsensical poem about Aurora/Eos and learn more about the legend.

Author's Note: The author is thinking here of wild geese, like the Canada goose, taking a more favorable view than he did in an earlier verse that you can find HERE. The V-formation is characteristic of, but not unique to, flights of their flocks.
