She Wished Upon a Star

Moonlight shone upon her As she wished upon a star What price would it incur For wishes that are so far Need for it to come true Would each have a price Could happiness ensue Her hope for a paradise Wishes for a kind of love That few would ever find Wishes sent to up above Hoped stars to be so kind She wished every night A true love that would fill Prayed to the starlight Love one day would reveal And so she sat awaiting For a wish to come to be The thought intoxicating One day to be her reality

Arousing poetry, Bre. C! Made me think of the lush Rolls Royce song. Anticipation is the a most dreamy feeling of ecstasy. You conveyed this yearning sensation beautifully. Aurora bright write! Love and hugs forever.

A little less wishing and a little more human interaction and I think this young woman will be pleasantly surprised how many of her wishes will come to fruition. Hugs Rick.

Sounds like the subject of your poem, Ms. Wishmore, will have to go on a gluteus maximus shrinkage-reduction program---after all that sitting and waiting! LOL. Nice one, Brenda. :) gw

Brenda, Your poem's starlit love-wish reminded me of Poe's 'A Dream Within A Dream'. 'Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. -Edgar Allan Poe
