Fireball

Last night, stepped out for a smoke (yeah, yeah, I know!), looked up and a fireball passed overhead, traveling from east to west. It was bright: so much so, it lit up the sky. Toward the end of its path, it broke up in several pieces before fading ... did anyone see it, or was it given to me, alone?


Poem Artwork


... did anyone see it?  Streaking
across the sky?  The quick bright
line of greenish blue that passed
overhead in silence - it broke up
in several pieces.  Ears flexed in
preperation for the explosion that
never came.  Did anyone see it, the
fireball?  Or was it meant for me ...
alone?

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (12/30)

Was you trying to get a light off of it, or
did you make a wish?
I saw something like two shooting stars..
not that bright though.
Lurve ya!

I didn't see them. From our investigations, we have learned that they were only meant for you, as a special message. I hope you'll turn it into a poem and share it with us.

:-) Have a wonderful year, full of peace and inspiration.

Nature gave you a nice gift. Besides as much as you love and write about nature, I prefer to think she gave it just for you.

What a beautiful sight it must've been my friend...my first thoughts was that it was a sign, just for you...a blessing on the way...smoking hmmm. I know it's hard to quit, I quit in 93 one of the hardest things besides giving birth I ever did...come to think of it, kicking the habit was harder. Great write, get ready for a blessing...

SHOOT!! No, I didn't see it either; but I sure heard you say, "WOW! DID YOU SEE THAT??" By the time I came running (such as it were) on my sticks, it was gone. Just like that! DANG it, I missed it!! Must have been spectacular!! For you to carry on about it, it had to have been! Wonderful write; very well penned! BRAVA! You got a gift from the Heavens.

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :D

You make a wish on it?? If so, hope it comes true! :)

SHOOT! No, I didn't see it Karla. Too cloudy last night or maybe it was for your eyes only. And don't you dare apologize for stepping out for a smoke. That is a matter of an individual RIGHT that is being taken away from us by those who dare call themselves democratic legislatures.
