867. Did You See That?

falling star —
i blink and have to take
his word for it

[Starting with this haiku, I plan to put the remarks for each day's haiku in the comments section of the post. I will continue to maintain the archives and link information here. I am now planning to extend this linked haiku sequence for an entire year. Look at this blog's sidebar for details (see the section entitled, "A Linked Year"). ~Masago]

falling star —

[I first witnessed a falling star in the fifth grade. I had "camped out under the stars" in the backyard with a school friend that summer. He was an astronomy enthusiast and together we saw quite a number of falling stars that night. I had luckily just got my first pair of glasses. Before then, without the glasses, I wouldn't have been able to see a falling star even if I knew what I was looking for.]

Without the glasses the only thing falling is me. So beautiful, and so easy to miss. Excellent!!

e had 3 of our grandkids during the perseid meteor shower in August.
They snuggled in our laps, and the 3 year old fell asleep in mine.
