Looking For the Meteor Shower

beyond light in a park at the edge of a small town the car radio fades to whispers of nothingness darkness my intimate friend one streak then another something called a shooting star tells stories of the reaches of outer space a burning passion a passage of a heavenly tail swept by celestial light and solar winds moments of luminescence seen through my windshield where on other nights breathless lovers dream a universe their own

Hello! I’m a sophomore in Speech and I really liked your poem! For our speech contest, I’m doing a literary Program! I was hoping I’d be able to get your permission to use the poem in my program! Would you please let me use it? I will make sure to credit you and I won’t change the poem at all!

I like your sparseness of words chosen quite carefully for this piece. "swept by celestial light/and solar winds" is a poignant description of your subject. Your tone fit the language perfectly.
