Thank you @bennettitalia. Yes, I am a teacher and wrote random poems on Steemit since last Christmas.
I just wanted to leave the poem as is but I was asked to explain it.. ha ha
My explanation just makes things more confusing... but at least the facts are there.
I teach elementary school children and I wish they would just catch what is going on naturally but it almost never works that way. I have to explain and show examples and practice.
Oh well, back to work for me.
Have a good day:)
:D lol I was all set to do a little google research... I remembered that syzygy was some kind of astronomy term, but not what it meant. Your explanation cleared it up for me, thanks!
funny thing... how much easier research is these days, with google, wikipedia, etc. When I was in school, it took a lot more effort to find stuff out. You'd think people would catch on and just look stuff up themselves!
That's right. Kids in our school don't get much access to computers but half the kids have smart phones.
My own kids could use google before they could read. They used the voice search to find about LEGO and movies but when it came to researching for a school project suddenly they are idiots.
