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

Kurt Ravidas Date: 8/16/2019 1:11:00 PM 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. Login to Reply Kim Rodrigues Date: 8/16/2019 5:40:00 PM Thanks so much! <3 Kim

Maurice Rigoler Date: 8/15/2019 9:45:00 PM 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 Login to Reply Kim Rodrigues Date: 8/15/2019 9:51:00 PM Thank you, Maurice! For sure wishing upon won’t change anything.
