In late January I spotted a star

But this star was bigger than the others near and far

Not soon after did I note what this star was truly

No, this star was Jupiter glowing brightly

Surrounding it were its five biggest moons

And only accidentally I spotted Jupiter that late noon

The moons formed a circle around Jupiter

Which was a ball of glowing light or a ball getting dimmer

But never will I forget this sighting

Of the star that was more than a light glowing
