Jeanne Mcgee Poet Monorhyme

I Wish I May, I Wish I Might

Feeling small like a wee little sprite
I gaze in wonder at a man-made satellite
Drifting across the earth at such great height
While Mars is aglow with red again tonight

I sit and watch the shooting stars with delight
Their trails gracing the sky with ester and phosphite
And imagine others awake across the night
Seeing the same beauty that cannot but excite

Evening star twinkling straight above my campsite
Full moon radiates the goddess of silvery light
Orion's belt sits straight and bright
Stars immense expanse is a beautiful sight

If I wish upon the first glowing star of white
And I wish I may and I wish I might
Will my dream of a world healing from its plight
Reach each of us to become a shinning knight?

Can we learn new tricks of compassion like a neophyte?
Not to burrow our head in our life like a termite?
Whether from the country or as an urbanite
We can shine bright like a meteorite

Even though this is not a brand new poem, my wish for our world to heal and stop fighting each other is as strong as ever.

John Watt May 29, 2020 at 2:20 AM Such great words and rhymes to capture the awe and wonder of looking into the night sky. I liked "Full moon radiates the goddess of silvery light". Great mono, Jeanne, thank you for pointing this one out to me! Happy writing ~ John

Sandra Adams June 26, 2019 at 7:23 AM Nicely crafted, I am not much of a rhyme writer either, my muse often flows better with freestyle, though I do try my hand at some rhyme at times... this flows nicely :) Jeanne Mcgee June 26, 2019 at 12:23 PM Thank you Sandra for coming to read and comment. It's nice to hear others aren't rhyme writers either...but it's good for the brain to stretch ourselves for sure.

Richard Lamoureux June 25, 2019 at 9:31 AM This does indeed shine. Jeanne Mcgee June 25, 2019 at 11:17 AM I never was much at rhyming so I thought this would be a good exercise for me. And it ended up being so much fun! Thank you for your comments Richard.
