Notes About The Poem
I did some research and found some myths and stories about shooting stars..This is based upon some of the stories..I have seen two real live shooting stars or meteoriods in my life..One when I was about seven years old and the other a couple of years ago..The one a couple of years ago was unusual in that it was not even dark but just before twilight..

Arise

Spishu, spishu shooting star flies
Noisily streaks across night skies
Lights life for split second
Then wonder if beckons
Which one is being called arise

Interesting and delightful write my friend! I love shooting stars and I have seen many of them in my life! I'm glad to have seen each and every one of them, not all my wishes came true, but some of them did! Great Work!!
