Not a Star

The night sky appeared with millions of stars, but I couldn't count all And the moon was unhappy being labeled: not a star Disappearing at the stroke of dawn, without helping with my count. May 27, 2018 Placed 3rd in Sijo contest by Heidi Sands Total syllables 46 (16,14,16)

Uncountable are the stars of the sky.... ! I like Moon's protest in not being counted as a star and disappearing out of sight like a displeased child with innocent obstinacy!

An ideal clear night sky often tempts us to wonder how many stars there are in all, Vijay. The moon disappears at dawn, but so do the stars:) Regards // paul
