Ira Joe Fisher's P-06877-etry from A.C.T. of CT "Stellarphobia"

Welcome to another "P-06877-etry” feature where Ridgefield’s Poet Laureate, Ira Joe Fisher, shares his poetic prowess with HamletHub readers!

Stellarphobia

A star’s spark beckons

and through the haze of town

I feel its pull,

I feel its invitation

to leave this earth

and home and folk I love.

Nearing a star

I’d see its light colored and bright:

red would ripple to green

and green would fizz blue –

ahead of blazing back to red.

It would glow my face

and light my eyes

and fill my path with fire.

A star’s spark beckons…

but I’m afraid to fly.
