Wish Upon a Shooting Star

a shooting star streaked 
tail of bright sparkling fireworks-
wind made whispered wish

11/2/2018


I saw a shooting star last night; the sight filled me with awe. I’ve seen them before, but this was different. It shot across the sky breaking apart and dissolving;  reminded me of fireworks.

Well done! Most people are too busy wondering what the "omen" foretells than in making wishes. Lucky you live where you can still see the stars at night! Aloha! Rico

They are spectacular to see Eve and yes some differ, some more magnificent than others, and you wait hoping to see another like it but it never shows. Tom.

The poem is so perfect, the photo was unnecessary, but it surely did bring me right back my childhood, so thank you, Eve.
