Dog and Stars

Last night 

there were many stars.

They were reflected on snow

and one foolish  homeless dog.

very much wanted  to catch them.

But only snow-flakes flew and flew,

and the moon shone, as an indifferent lamp.

The dog barked - 

He very much wanted to catch a star

and warm up his paws.
