A Shooting Star
I think it's the third twinkle down
(Alioth)
In the constellation of Ursa Major
Where she sits
All sparkly with stardust
And cheesy-gobbed from moon food
Gran said that God had came and
plucked her right off the earth
A car was an odd choice of plucking
But, that's what he chose
With all her beautiful smiley curls of gold
And shimmery eyes of sapphires
I think she flung a piece of her hair at the sun
To make it shine brighter
And often winks at the stars
To show them how to twinkle properly
On a clear night, without any fluff
She, sometimes, cries snowflakes
That flutter down with the starlight
Gran says it's 'cause she misses us so much
So I run out
Eyes wide, with venus flytrap hands
Catching as many as I can
Then I kiss & kiss them
Until lips go tingly fresh
And the Love shoots right back up
And splatters her face with rosy tickles
It makes her giggle & shuffle
Until her excitement is a rocket
And she blasts off into the stars
Sometimes, if you watch closely
You can see her shoot across the sky
Her shimmery golden locks blazing behind
I post more kisses upon my hand
And blow them starward
Before getting snuggly deep in duvet land
And floating off to meet her
In dreamy slumbers of new worlds
And the adventures beyond

I am going to go a step further and say this poem is extraordinary and exceptional. A good piece of imaginative writing.
