Nova

A transient astronomical event

A sudden appearance 

of a bright “new" star

that slowly fades 

over several weeks 

or many months. 

Nova was almost here

Made from two families 

A mix of brown and white 

Straight and curly 

Her skin was surely cocoa butter 

Her eyes were surely bright

Nova was almost here

The light of her presence 

melted a family together 

for 9 full moons

before she had to go back home
