Charlieku is totally a new poetic form for me. Reading your cute little poems, I feel it is not that difficult. I am inspired to try this form. The great star born in Bethlehem and the star that piloted the kings, both are celebrated time and again.

I saw a TV program once and some seem to think it may have been a comet.
