March storm
Aldebaran hides
behind clouds
evening star
even in deep sleep
I see it
northern sky
my husband and I
connect the dots
stargazing
on an empty beach
they gaze back
starlight
through the bare trees
passing mist
falling stars
so many wishes
before I retire
shooting stars
... fifty points
if I see one?
My contributions to the March 2008 haiku thread of the online journal Sketchbook -- http://poetrywriting.org/Sketchbook3-2Feb08/0_Stars_Thread_March_2008.htm . This was a troubled evening at the end of a troubled 1-1/2 weeks, and the poems came after I had made a difficult career-related decision.
