Emile Pinet Poet Rhyme

My Favorites

These are my favorites thus far,
but Gaia's known for Her beauty  
and Mother Nature's a cutie.

Sparkles, trailing a shooting star
as it falls, setting skies ablaze,
a rare spectacle, nowadays.

And the pluck of a bass guitar
resonating deep in my heart,
as tears spontaneously start.

The rumble of an old streetcar
carries memories of my youth,
a time of innocence and truth.

And catching fireflies in a jar
is a magical kind of thing,
like capturing love on the wing.

These are my favorites thus far,
sparkles trailing a shooting star
and the pluck of a bass guitar,
the rumble of an old streetcar
and catching fireflies in a jar.


(Constanza)

Carolyn Devonshire July 30, 2020 at 10:27 AM The contrail of a shooting star must be a rare sight as I've never seen one, Emile. Sometimes music, and even sounds like the streetcar, can transport us to another time. It's too bad the fireflies don't live long in jars. I used to collect them too. A lovely constanza! Hugs, Carolyn Emile Pinet July 30, 2020 at 1:14 PM Thanks Carolyn, when I was a kid in a small village we use to spend hours looking up at a sky full of stars, but living in the city I haven't seen the night sky look like that for over fifty years and I long to see it again my friend, Emile.
