THE STAR THAT DARED
I love
The man
Who loved
The star
That shone
Alone
In the midnight
Sky.
The man
Who knew
The implacable
Dark
That rolled
Across
The shining
Star.
Until
Its brave
And lovely
Light
Was utterly
Put out.
Reminder:
Every star
Needs
A fire
Extinguisher.

Why cant the star still shine why it should be put out.
Nice poem.
Love the last lines..❣
They stand a better chance with a fire extinguisher, don’t you think? Sometimes, we
can be the extinguisher.
Gwen.
That’s what we hope every star has in their possession! Glad you liked it.
Gwen.
Now I get it , you are right
I would think you have been a fire extinguisher for people all your life, judging by
your compassionate and brilliant posts. Glad you feel easier about the poem.
Gwen.
For the beautiful comparison u gave me, I have walked in fire all my life that has helped me value the fire extinguisher but for others.
I even read about your bio in your page it is no less struggle.
Love your poem🥺💛
Such a lovely and beautiful poem, indeed a star needs an extinguisher 😊
So glad you like it.
Gwen.
