Sam Kauffman Poet Rhyme

Little Stars

Little Stars 

Little stars up in the sky
Wish they could be bigger
Like the North Star they try
To shed more light with vigor.

Little flowers bloom in fields
Covered with quilts of dew
They twinkle, sparkle like little stars
While the stars wink at you.

Little stars in your eyes
Twinkle like diamonds of dew
Lighting up your midnight dreams
To pirouette through evening's blue. 

Little one, safe in my arms,
I sing this lullaby
Of a little star that grows each day
Right before my eyes.

Eve Roper April 15, 2021 at 9:45 PM You have a wonderful story, Sam, it should have scored higher, but you forgot to put Nursery Rhyme in your title. I felt this should be read by others. Congratulations on your win. Hugs Eve Eve Roper April 18, 2021 at 7:36 PM Sam, I am at fault to doing the same. I forget to go back and check the requirements and get an N/A. Sam Kauffman April 16, 2021 at 3:08 PM Thank you so much Eve! So appreciate your compassionate placement! When will I learn to read? Usually, before submitting to a contest, I re-read the requirements. Must have been in dreamland when I hit submit! I have loved these nursery rhyme themes. Thank you for these contests and all that you do here on the soup! Sending you blessings of sweet dreams!
