Carolyn Sears Poet Free verse

I Made a Wish

I made a wish upon a
Falling star

“Hoping”

“Eagerly”

To make that one
Little wish

“In hoping”

My wish would prevail
Itself

To be true
And start the rain

“Or maybe snow”

And let me make it
To a Beauty salon

While I attempt to sing
Ain’t no sunshine when
He’s gone

“As”

The dogs howl at the
Moon.

“Or maybe”

My singing

“Lord”

My wish was not granted
For I still can’t sing

The dogs and cats seem

To appear disturb when I
Sing

They howl and meow

I wished upon a falling
Star

For a singing voice that
Would make me rich

“maybe a bit famous”

“Laugh”

So, that dream just
Blew away

Within the frosty winds

In the year of the rain

Washed away with the
High tide

I wished upon a falling
Star

Didn’t get my wish but

That beautiful little twinkling
Star

Was truly intriguing for the
Eye to see

“Thank God”

I went to a beauty salon

Got the works

Clean down to my toes

Ain’t that grand and I

And I feel brand new
