Actually, this is a voting security feature. During public voting, only club members can read posts submitted for that contest. Since anyone reading the story is able to vote (click the Like button), we reserve these capabilities to members who SignIn. Before we implemented this security feature, people were voting multiple times and making the public voting process unfair and out of balance. To fix this, our staff finally decided to allow only members who SignIn to read the stories. Membership is free and easy, and ensures our club is safe, secure, and family-friendly!

To Leave Comments - Please SignIn with GoogleCarrie, I love everything about this haiku – the picture, each perfectly chosen word and especially the secret wishes! Many’s the night I’ve camped out beneath a wide, dark sky to watch in wonder. Thanks for bringing it all back!
Thanks, Juma. When I was 10 I was camping on the North West coast of Scotland with family in August at the peak of the Perseid display. The sky was clear, with no ambient light.

Linda Rock – “I think we all need a little magic” – and the shooting star reference is magical. Also since my passion is handwriting, I found this historical video which I thought you and

A wonder-filled haiku, Carrie. Shooting stars are fascinating phenomena. I like how you’ve kept it in present tense and the title prompted research to find it comes from the Greek’ Perseus. Amazingly, the Perseid cloud’s particles are one thousand years old. Best wishes ?
Thank you Andrew. I love anything to do with the stars. I could happily stand outside and stare at the night sky for hours when the nights are clear. I still haven’t managed to see the ISS yet though; it’s cloudy every time it’s in orbit over my bit of sky ?

Thank you, Jenna. I was inspired by something magical, it’s something I hope I did justice to ?
