Shooting Stars

Life is fleeting. And if you’re ever distressed, cast your eyes to the Summer sky when the stars are strung across the velvety night. And when a shooting star streaks through the blackness, turning night into day...make a wish and think of me. Robin Williams as Jack Powell in movie “Hook” SHOOTING STARS bright and beautiful fizzling out of time swooshing screaming dreaming wishing upon aching in one’s heart pocketing not the demise but all the surprise memories bright and beautiful s h * S o * H o * O t * O i * T n * I g * N s * G t * S a * T r * A s * R S * * * 8/14/2019 Shooting Stars Poetry Contest Sponsor: Nayda Ivette Negron

Please, shoot me, stars, if this swooshing-screaming-dreaming-wishing-aching-and-packaging poem isn't worth gold. It can't lose, if I love it and fave it.

I love to catch sight of shooting stars even though they're fleeting.Since making a wish won't change anything in one's life, the thrill of the sight suffices for me. I love the clever last two lines simulating shooting stars. Surely a winner. Thanks for the kind stop by, Kim. / M
