As always, this is very nice. I love poems about Stardust. They are like something magical. Thanks for reading my poem ( Family ) and answering my question. I know that God is the answer. I pray to Him all the time. I don't wish for no one to go through what I have gone through. Thank you..... Lucilla

Interesting form..Reads like a winning contest entry..Enjoyed reading this morn..Thanks for the visits to my poems..Your comments are valuable to me..I appreciate you taking time to read and comment..With this form one would have to choose wisely words that have many rhyming counterparts so that one would not run out of a rhyme..I paint myself in the corner sometimes ..Sara
