I wonder...does the meteor even care?...only those who watch make assumptions..therefore it must be a star?....no..it is what it is...and will always be..A beautiful presentation...the colors striking...

Wow! I need to learn to write with the flow of the pen. If a meteor was part of something greater than a poet must be even more. Words are only writings, feelings are the souls of many hearts, beating together as one. An awesome free-flying poem.

This is a wonderful free verse, Mav. Your vivid imagery opens and heals from beginning to end. The capricious wishes consumed in hot gold to smoke to freedom.

I very much enjoy your allusions to Monet and Van Gogh, the alpha, the omega, the curtain of illusion cast open for a day, and like the shooting star the display incredible!

Super job and I hope this beauty wins the contest. :))

I hope it's somewhere near as good as you make it sound. Thanks sooooo much. Your opinion is gold to me.

This is a beautifully penned free verse. You use poetic devices to their full benefit and negating the need for rhyme and meter in any form. I should think you more than a mere canoe - tug boat perhaps as they are strong and steady. The end is wonderful! The meteor's demise is spectacular if noticed just as the life and works of any gifted artist. Well done and thank you very much for sharing it.

Hi, Michael;
Thank you for sharing this wondrous poem. I found myself looking forward to each line straining to find out how you would describe the magnificence of the star. Well done and worthy of the sixer.

Very playful words and adding well known historical people and things. The entire poem was airy and bounced. It was fun to read. It was sort of like running through to the park or visiting a museum with so many different things to see. Great Job! Sherman541

I am but a poet - that's the beginning of my favourite verse in this lovely free verse of the cosmic energy floating all around us. Some lovely alliteration and occasional rhyming works really well to make a lovely read mike.

I'd never thought of that before. I imagine on bright sunny days meteors do go unnoticed. How sad. They deserve to be spectacular. Good luck in the contest.
