A Starry Night

Among those twinkling stars, One just finds me and stares. Among the many crowded people, I look at the star through the water ripple. As the night goes on and on, The star uses its shine to don, In order to hide from me, As I disappear into the sea. I wander how we will ever, Again come to see each other, By the night of this very river. In a single star, I find memories. In a single star, I find love. In a single star, I find loneliness. In a single star, I find respect. In a single star, I find poetry. In a single star, I find my mother, my only mother.

Nice piece Tae Jun Cha~! Loved your personalization and imagery in this fine piece of poetry! My favorite line was "In a single star, I find my mother, my only mother." As this is just the tip of a mass of more poems that can make the reader FEEL your love for nature! Great job~ The only critique I have for you is to change the word WANDER to Wonder....wandering is walking around ...Wonder is to wonder how or wonder if etc.~This is easily corrected and will give a much better read~In kindness~;)
