Stars

20 Prompts Poem

The stars wink back from a sky pitch black. They

are winking at me. As I lay on my

fuzzy blanket while crunching on a

milk chocolate bar, I can see the cool

winter breeze brush against pine trees, moving

the leaves. The smell of sweet nectar parades

through the air.  In the distance, dogs howl at

the night stars. I can feel the sour tears from

my mothers face as my father yells at

her. Valerie Jones the nosy neighbor

from next door knocks on the door to see what

is the commotion. My parents resolved

their issues and send her back to her home,

but she argues and refuses to leave. My

father gave her one quick glower and she

finally walked away. The stars begin

twinkling again because she left. “I am

glad she’s gone.” they sing out. The cool moon

of love peeks out from the darkness, and a

large angry smile spreads across my face.

I run out into the night and soar through

the sky, landing on the roof. Lil Tani

lays flat on the roof. Someday she’ll

realize the light she saw in the sky was,

in fact, a UFO. (yay those normal, human

-looking aliens.)  People 5’3” ever

see these shocking discoveries though.

Schau immer nach oben. Man weiß es

nie. Sie könnten ein UFO sehen. The moon

is frightened and disappears into the night

sky and the stars wink back from a sky pitch black.
