Dear man, you are a distant star. I wish your eyes on me would shine. Come close to me; a firefly be, So I might hold you in my palm! Written Jan. 17, 2016 for "A Poetic Response" Poetry contest of nette onclaud Based on Visual #1 and Quote: "The stars are not afraid to appear like fireflies." by Rabindranath Tagore

Very beautiful Andrea, dare I say poetic. There is a softness here like a mother to child. Have a great week.

A sweet write, andie... Made me smile. Thanks! About the title, I think you need to use the word Poutpourri (take note of the POUT). You have to change the title asap...hugs!
