SUNDAY IS FOR POETRY: The Shooting Star


Last night I saw a shooting star.

She was the rolling stone wearing a
leopard-skin pill box hat;
Warhol's prop,
Dylan's teardrop.

Her fate sealed in her broken
lifeline;
She lived twenty eight years
in one and a half.

Loved this! Just the fact you know who Edie Sedgwick was, makes you okay in my book. :D

I hated the accusation intoned in Bob Dylan's "How Does it Feel" (althought I must admit the words of that poem are great). With that said I will conclude by telling you that the words of this poem are great too!
