the Big Dipper
catches falling stars--
crickets sing...

The Big Dipper pours
     away from the northern pole,
            slowly moving west......

Orion’s belt
The little dipper
A bee that buzzes
The wind that whistles
The seven sisters above...

The moon is misted with rain,
And moon-tears dribble and drain
The length of the sky.  They fall
Into the Big Dipper, that catches them each and all....

A young girl backed into my zipper
On a bus too crowded for kipper
With pressure exerted
My little thing spurted
What seemed to be from the Big Dipper!...

A man that men call The Big Dipper
Went bonkers over a busty stripper
He wanted to tip her
But then had to skip her
When his meat got caught in his zipper...

meteors
shooting stars
the Pleiades
Orion's Belt
the Little Dipper
the Big Dipper
stars
galaxies
the moon
satellites
police helicopters
sirens
a bullhorn
time for breakfast!...

Stripper Who Was A Finger Flipper

All that she wore was her each slipper,
Which is why they called her a stripper;
Pretty precocious;
Flipping ferocious;
We have heard she is a skinny dipper.

Maybe one day.
One moment in space, 
Where time can finally slow.
And the stars, may they align.
They can finally be together.
Staring; drawing the line.
Following the big dipper,
The tip pointing to their constellation....

long after midnight

he points out the big dipper...

grass for our pillows

Could all it take is 
A single person to 
Realize a twinkling star
Over the Milky Way, near the 
Little Dipper or Orion's
Belt to become
Recognized by some
Others who gaze in a 
World and sky
Near my own?  Thanks for looking....

Stars...
You are a part of the solar system
You are always in the sky
On top of the world
You are the light
The most beautiful thing
There are millions of you
One is the Big Dipper
One is the North Star
But they are all
Stars......

Light
softly
diffused through
streaks of pink clouds.
Shadows chase the sun
into tomorrow.  The,
full Flower Moon greets the stars.
Quenching her thirst from the dipper,
her light slices through the inky dark
illuminating the sky with Venus....

All Seven stars on rise
A small dipper be filled
Are my seven daughters
As shinning on the moon
All clustering in one
A Drip on mans eye
A sight only at night

The little star 
That shines alongside the Big Dipper 
The one that gets unnoticed 
And never seems to want to wink 

Is like the big star 
That shines alongside the Little Dipper 
It gets overlooked 
When the Little Dipper starts to blink...

He flaunted his physical riches
That made him too big for his britches
  Until a tight zipper
  So mangled his dipper
It needed a full forty stitches.

I SAW THE TWO SEA CREATURES,
THEY HAD THE MOST WONDERFUL FEATURES,
BEAUTIFUL GRAY SKIN,
EACH LOOKING LIKE A TWIN,
I WONDER IF IT WAS FLIPPER,
THEY WERE MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THE BIG DIPPER,
THEY WERE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DOLPHINS,
MAY MANY MORE LIVE ON....

That photo must be photoshopped said quite a few in a snippy way.
But I knew better, for I had observed the Big Dipper myself that day.
It is what I saw in the sky myself, I told the doubting misbelievers.
They still did not believe it, that’s why I call them beavers....

A heavy horse looks like a rock
the horse stands completely still in the darkness
with open eyes
one starry night
the horse seems to count
all bright spots in the Big Dipper
and is wondering whether it would be very difficult
to pull the wagon one lap
around the globe....

emotional big dipper
going up and then
   speeding down
my mind is in a spin
   how did I get here?

I don’t like the face staring back at me
   so cheerless
hazel eyes without their shine

a broken mirror
  dissimilar views
in between the heartache
  and expectant dreams

a cute little nipper
sat on the big dipper
his voice was so chipper
when he lost his slipper

it’s gone said the dipper
I know said the nipper
it fell on a clipper
I’ll need a new slipper

laughter from the dipper
charged up little nipper
he leaned down to the clipper
and retrieved his slipper...

If that is you then I am me
One whom roams freely amongst what it is to be
To be care free
Freely unbalanced without care
Perfectly flawed for that I am fair
Fair in the tone of my skin becoming bronze when sun kissed
Connecting as such words the big dipper
Accepting change unwithered
For that I am me....

I look up to the sky,
     Pegasus,
     Big Dipper,
     The Dragon,
     andromeda... stars
     distant, so close to me...!

     I look at the earth,
     lost birds,
     endless deserts,
     ownerless forests,
     mountains... never land
     so close to here... 
     so distant from me...!...
