Analysis of The shooting star.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



The shooting star.

I wonder, like a shooting star, above the sky that flies over the valleys and hills. Then I saw a host of lonely daffodils next to a lake by the trees, fluttering and dancing in the breeze. The stars shine and twinkle. The waves beneath them danced in the sparkling waves of the sea. I gazed, but gave little thought to the wealth they had given me. On the couch, I lie in a vacant mood. I see a flash in my eyes of solitude.
