The Leonids by Tom Lagasse

Emanation point
The cosmos hear Leo’s roar
River of rubble

by Tom Lagasse

While reading about Leonid showers, I was struck by the term emanation point and the phrase “river of rubble” that the author used. I have used Joe Rao’s line as inspiration for my poem about the Leonid showers.
