Written for: Poets United Midweek Motif~ Looking at Stars (posted by Sumana)
“Are you a star gazer? If not better be one and gift us a few lines about your experience.”
“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”— Oscar Wilde

See your breath
on a Winter’s night.
Turn your eyes
heavenward.
Silver sequins dot the sky;
shapes appear so close.

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York.
My goal is to create and share poetry with others
who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve
in you, and feel your sparks as well.
There is something special about the sky in winter. Lovely, Sara.
