Don’t chase shooting stars

All that glitters is not gold

Faux gold shimmers, too


Author’s Note: Today marks my eighteenth day on the fifty-day song/lyric-based senryū challenge. Today’s poem is inspired by “All Star” by Smash Mouth, though it takes a much different path than their song did. You can listen to “All Star” below. I hope you enjoy both my poem and the song.
