I once thought about the stars
The pockets of light
Luminating a dark world
Perhaps one day I can be a star
Not the kind that cares about social status
Or the number of Oscar awards
But the kind that can light up a city of shadows
These stars reach for heaven
But they touch the people on earth too
The beauty of stars cannot be captured
In an Instagram post or on google images
But lying down beneath the night sky
Can one truly appreciate the stars
The soft shine
Glows lightly and glimmers with hope
I felt peace thinking about stars
But it is more delightful to see and experience them
The moon seems to be the center of attention
But a sky without stars is a blanket of darkness with one big hole
My eyes search for signs of shooting stars
Their passions so strong that they fly across the heavens
The glory of stars are hidden throughout the day
The brightness of materialistic items
Attract mankind as the sun reigns
But the glowing freckles of the night sky’s face
Is a wonder to all when light fades
I want to be one of those stars
Choosing to shine even when surrounded by utter darkness
I really like the imagery you use and how you make your message really obvious, keeping a more simple style of poetry than an ambiguous, confusing one. My favorite line from your poem is, "These stars reach for heaven / But they touch the people on earth too" and my favorite device would be repetition of stars throughout the poem.
ReplyDeleteThis poem uses amazing imagery with the stars throughout, it's fantastic! I love the freckles as stars, I think it works really well, and the personification of the stars is brilliant as they reach and touch the earth. My favorite line has to be, "But the glowing freckles of the night sky’s face" The image is beautiful and sweet. Amazing job!
