Poem of the Month

The stars woke up,
stretched,
yawn
and got into position,
forming the Big Dipper.

They took a big scoop,

pouring night all over me.

I was covered

from head to toe

with the whole of space…
nebulas, galaxies,

planets, and moons,

comets and asteroids,

even a black hole

right near my toes.

Dare I say it…

I need a bath.

I have stardust

all over my hair

and face,

tickling my nose,

making me sneeze.

I washed myself off,

but I couldn’t get

the stardust out of my eyes.

Now, even when the sun is out,
shining bright,

I still see the stars

in the night.
