James Fraser Poet Couplet

Below a Douglas Fir

Below a Douglas Fir tree one beautiful moonlit night
I sat there with my Missy as we viewed a lovely sight

The aurora borealis was lighting up the sky
Then something to my right suddenly caught my eye

A gem from outer space tore across the cobalt blue
Leaving behind a trail a quite spectacular view

Two in trapped capture witnessing a shooting star
We wonder where it came from, out there from afar

We sat there for ages chatting about the sight we seen
Phenomena such as this are generally seen in dreams

Below the Douglas Fir tree that beautiful moonlit night
We marvelled at it's arrival as it disappears from sight

Carolyn Devonshire August 25, 2010 at 2:18 PM Perhaps it was a falling star, James. They're supposed to be signs of luck for lovers who see them together. Captivating poem. Love, Carolyn

Sara Kendrick August 22, 2010 at 11:57 AM Not too many times do we see these split second happenings...August was suppose to be the month in the northern sky from ten P.M. until around 2 A.M. to see a show of shooting stars from a comet or maybe it was called meteorites ...I do know for sure what it was called but it was from a comet...I went out several times and looked North but not such luck as to happen to see it..Enjoyed reading about your experience or of a picture that you have seen..Sara
