Make a Wish


Image:1 Courtesy of Google images

‘Make a wish’, quickly!
Only when one is lucky
To spot the tailings..


A Shooting Star

In the still of the night
A light breeze lazily passes by
Brushing my  cheeks lightly
A wisp of my hair flailing on top
What can be more peaceful
Looking up the night sky
As if in collusion bids a common stance
All quiet nothing disturbs
Except for the slight movements
Of rustling leaves on the quiet
Suddenly, ‘ make a wish, make a wish’
Excitement fills the air
From around me, some distance away
Camouflaged by the shadows
Young lovers warm in embrace
Alive in an instance
Aware of nature’s sudden entrance
Long tailings bright in the silent night
A ‘shooting star’ for all its glory!

Submitted for Chev's Haikublog Tackle it Tuesday with prompt - shooting stars

  1. The embrace I would take
    A wish though I may or may not make
    As it is a nice thought
    But a I think it's a bit of fluff by a whole lot
    And first
    With my burst.

    You're first!
    And you can make a wish
    To fulfill a thirst
    Luck on a golden dish

    Didn't think that way at first. But it appears amazingly ok with your explanation

  8. Hank, I like that first one, the haiku. It stands to reason that IF one is lucky he will have to catch the shooting star with a tailing. When the tailing is gone, the 'star' goes out.

    An aside, when shooting stars are forecast I generally try to see them. The last time I tried I saw about four in my half hour. Most times I can't even see them.

    I like the two meme's that I do together. There is a small number of participants so I most of the time can return all my comments.
    There is a third Thursday meme I do, also posted now, going Through the Alphabet with Jenny. Today was the "B" word.
