A Fallen Star ~*Marge Tindal*~  Last night I saw a shooting star careening across the sky I made a wish that it would fall into a heartfelt sigh I found a fragment of that wish upon the rising of the dawn In burned-out glory laying midst the morning dew on my lawn I fingered it so lightly caressed it to my heart just knowing It held the wishes of many etched in it's points once glowing It seemed to catch the spirit of loving wishes that I knew were yet to be fullfilled before the next night was through As it became a breathing wish I flung it back to the night and there it hung just waiting for another heart in which to light So if you see a shooting star streak across the night you may walk gently on the morning knowing I sent a wish your way ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

So this is where that line came from.."Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket" From the heart of an angel named Marge. Wonderful piece of loving spirit from you my friend. |

Marge, love this, send those wishes out to all who need them, oh this is soooooo good. Now remember when you're out tonight and you're polishing those stars, be sure to put some special Marge magic into every single one. Marsha  |

Catch the spirit of loving wishes... this one soothes the soul Marge. I too thought of the song..."catch a falling star and put it in your pocket save it for a rainy day" Good work. Hugs Deb |

Marge~ Lovely thoughts and wishes my friend. You have penned them perfectly. Warm wishes sent your way. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Marge, this is so lovely, and makes me think I will continue wishing after all. And I truly wanted to thank you for your poem that you left for me yesterday. I believe it may have even changed my attitude from the bottom of the world, to somewhere looking up, at least. Thanks for all your wonderful writings. Sandra |

Wonderful bit of poetry, But no punctuation? That’s alright, a fine example of how line breaks are just as much of poetic punctuation As a comma or even a semi-colon. Gloom |
