"LEONIDS" (Revised, Reposted)
~~~~~~~~~~
Look!  Look!  There's a meteor!
If there is one, there will be more.
Look!  Look!  There's one--and there--THERE!
Whaddaya mean, "I'm getting scared"?
~
Look!  Look!  There's another one!
Right where I'm pointing...ain't this fun?
Look!  Look!  Three more just went by!
Can't you see them?  THEY'RE IN THE SKY!
~
Look!  Look!  They're above your head!
OOOH!  That one left a trail of red!
Don't say you missed that one, too.
They're not going to come on cue!
~
Awesome, AWESOME streaks of light!
Right THERE!  A bollide, burning bright!
Look!  Look!  At those streaks of gold!
"It's cold out here.  I'm getting cold."
~
Look!  Look!  No, that's an airplane!
Don't tell me you missed it AGAIN.
Look!  Look!  RIGHT THERE!  Oops, it's gone.
"I MIGHT see one before the dawn."
~
Look!  Look!  There--did you see THAT?
YEAH--that's what I've been looking at!
Look!  Look!  I've counted twenty one!
"And I'm just getting started, son!"

I find watching the sky to be interesting and when I traveled late at night on my paper route I was entertained by the displays of light.

Meteor Showers are truly fascinating, as is your account of your experiences, Karla. I try to watch them as often as I can, too.

And thanks very much for the congrats on my book; really appreciate it!

Wonderful poem that truly captures your excitement at seeing the fireballs up in the sky; kind of gives you a whole new perspective on God's creation and wonders, doesn't it? Love it, love it, love it! BRAVA; well done!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your sky-watchin' twink, Karen Lynn. :D

A captivating, fun write. I'm jealous that I can't see them where I am.
