• Woah, a poem? Who knew that Ava
could do such a thing.

Look up, for there is a shooting star
Streaking across the night sky,
Smoke trailing in its wake.
The plane makes impact,
Making the passengers lurch forward.
Thick, dark smoke fills the cabin.
I fumble for my seat belt,
But, alas, it is stuck.
I take one final breath,
Smoke searing down my throat
And burning my lungs.
The plane shutters
And the star explodes,
Leaving no survivors to tell the tale of the falling star.

I wrote this while on a plane coming back from California.
