Of Stargazers and Starshooters

The stargazers got together and spread a blanket out on the grass of the lush and opulent lawn Here, they all huddled together astronomy addicted they gazed as comets blazed sad to see them fall shooting stars caught their eyes but on the stars in the skies constellation sewn clustered or alone The stars shone... On these, they fixed their eyes as they "oohed" and "ahhhed" Celestially seduced- draw It didn't matter that some stars shone brighter they all felt lighter just being under star dusted canopy of night This was their delight! The starshooters were there on an adjacent hill they lost out on the thrill grumbled and brewed fumed and spewed profanity at the lights hanging high in the night heaven's chandeliers too bright they seemed too dazzling and near they were filled with fear that the heavens would explode so many stars...a heavy load and so the star shooters gathered their troopers and aimed at the stars Hoping to make them combust and fall This would fill they with mirth As stars collided with earth Little did they know stars couldn't be shot Not by any old lot They were meant to shine down beauty and light embellishing the night with their wondrous light a celestial delight! The stargazers...now they Well, what can I say? They watched starworks at play till night turned to day and they then went on their way Filled with delight, What a sight! Stargazer or starshooter Tell me... Which had it right? Eileen Manassian The term Starshooter is not my own. A super souper shared it with me the other day....I quite like it. Thanks!
