Hello Charmaine. Truly a 7. I see everything being right within the entry. The form is true as are the voice and tone. The theme is tops with me and you give the reader imagery. Well done

Shooting star, lives so short, but burns so bright. Is it sad, or something to be happy about? I am never sure, I always wonder...

This is very good, Charm! Most striking is the balancing of immense distance and short lived wish. Regards // paul

What a powerful analogy, comparing the "short-lived wish" to a "shooting star." Sometimes we wonder were those wishes went. Perhaps they are "lost in immense distance." BEAUTIFUL! Sending love to you.

Distance is not what it used to be, but a shooting star will always be magical, no matter how far away is the star or what you wished for. Loved this little poem Charmaine. I hope your wish comes true.
