Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Explosive Glow

 It had shone for a million years
 Its twinkles were seen from afar
This orb shone brighter than the other spheres
 It  was a' super' star

Having used up all its fuel
 Forces began pushing and pulling it
 It will lose this duel
 As its atoms began to split

Time catches up with all things
 Even stars have to go
 To its luster it clings
Ending in an explosive glow
