On a bitter-cold winter night
my heart lets out a heavy sigh
a rare green comet takes flight
the heavens have an endless glow
I wish you were here with me
as the arctic winds begin to blow
some stars are worth waiting for....

the word "star"
Thank you for visiting...
Author's note: I have been trying to view
the green comet in some extreme frigid
temperatures. It seems elusive...
Thank you for relating your experience. I'd love to see the "Green Comet also, we have cloudy, high level fog, here in the Houston area because of being near the Gulf of Mexico. And it's cold too, Brrr!

Hi Jim, I tried to view this comet during the arctic cyclone that hit this area, the sky was amazingly clear but, the temperatures were extremely cold and I could only stay outside for a few minutes.
DeleteOne thing isn't elusive, this wonderful poem!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteWonderful. Thanks for reminding me of the comet. I'd forgotten about it. Your poem echoes my own feelings at this time. Suzanne - Mapping Uncertainty
ReplyDeleteA rare gem if you can find it out there in the heavens.
DeleteA very nice take on the prompt!
ReplyDeleteThank you Dwight
DeleteThere's such longing and sadness in this poem. The green comet makes it all the more otherworldly.
ReplyDeleteThat is the general mood, the elusiveness of something greater than meets the eye, perhaps
DeleteA lovely rhyming quadrille, and I agree that some stars are worth waiting for.
ReplyDeleteKim, yes some stars definitely are worth waiting for...
DeleteYou are so right, Truedessa! A beautiful way of getting your thought across...

Thank you David! I wanted to let you know I always read your poems but I have trouble commenting.
DeleteSimple but packs a bunch.
ReplyDeleteRained too much here to see the comet.
Simplicity against a complex backdrop. I haven’t seen that comet. 🙁
DeleteA "love" quadrille ... the best kind.
ReplyDeleteThanks Helen
DeleteWe have yet to spot it, also, here in southern Nevada. I love the double meaning in "star" in your last line.
ReplyDeleteThank you De for the prompt word. That comet is soaring somewhere
DeleteBeautifully rendered, T.
