Shooting Star Outgunned

SHOOTING STAR   OUTGUNNED


A  single rocky  space  ship,
A sizzling visitor,
Flashed in our pan,
Dashed in and ran.

A fleeting meteor,
Meeting our fleet of clouds,
Marked the blackness with one
Streak  - bright, brief, and gone.

Evaporating fast
Its last trace was past.


................................................................

Note.

Meteors collide with the Earth constantly,  and thankfully are 
destroyed by our own atmosphere.
