Shooting Stars

By Perkele

Constellations

fall

Twinkles dim and they are

gone

There will be no more granted wishes
just the craters and devastation
little dents marring the surface

And that dark blanket kept above
descends to
suffocate
us

    Wow. Lovely work, and the ending really has a powerful, surprise PUNCH that i wasn't expecting.. Short and bitter. Good work.

  • A former member wrote: well wrought metaphor, infinite riches in a tiny room, very expressive of despair and wrapped in universal imagery but with a novel approach; well done.

  • A former member wrote: there is beauty in this disaster. you have worded this well
