WISHING ON A STAR

WISHING ON A STAR

It is so dark outside,
There is not much light,
Nothing is too bright,
When it’s night,
Except when I open the
Curtains to peep from inside.

I then see the moon,
And a cross kind of face,
I long to see it round,
But soon 
It will look thin,
And the moon makes no sound.

And way up high,
In that dark sky,
I see sparkling stars,
That mummy says,
If there are people on mars,
They see them too,
I wish I could meet one or two,
People from mars I mean,
Not the stars.

And my dad has shown me
The Milky Way
How exciting to see
And know what is out
There in the dark,
It’s almost like walking
With mum and dad 
In our nearby park.

So I  have decided to
Ask mummy to keep my
Curtains open,
So, I can see the moon,
And when there is a boy,
Who sits on the moon,
Which looks like a spoon,
Fishing,
I will be wishing
Upon one of the bright stars,
That one day we will meet,
Oh golly gee,
Won’t that be a treat.

It has been a long time since we crossed paths. A lovely poem. Don't give up writing, even if for a few lines. That's what we get these days.

Beautiful writing, Jennifer; the rhyme and flow are lovely, and the understanding and emotion are excellent. I thought the vivid depiction of the starry night was lovely. I hope everything is going well for you. It's fall where I am. Sending you lots of blessings,

Hi Gordon my friend, thank you for a lovely comment and a welcome visit - as you have maybe seen below, retired but still working - it would be a shame in actual fact to not continue with our business as clients still phone us and applicants still make contact with us. After 35 years of been in business, we are well known. We have however down sized from 5 employees working for us to just Elias and myself so it leaves me little to no time for my beloved poetry, for any free time goes into the business. Otherwise all is well - best wishes and hugs to you both. Jennifer.

I feel, this is written from the perspective of a child. Enjoyed the beautiful description of the star lit night. In childish fancy the little one dreams of a friendship with the boy sitting inside the moon fishing. Lovely poem, dear Jenny.

Valsa you are so right, it is absolutely so - thank-you for understanding and answering. I hope you are well and I think of you often - I am hardly on poetry soup anymore as the pressures of living in today's word, demands I work, and so my precious poetry suffers. LOVE AND HUGS JENNIFER.
