this is exactly why I created starsrite in the first place… hopefully an inspiration to others

Thanks so much…

Love how you evoke the nostalgia for the respect society once had for poets and the magic of pen upon paper. Your gift shines here, my friend.

Interesting option. To burn or never be lit

Thanks for reading. You got it. It’s hard to only burn half of your match.

hello James this is intesting I would rather feel the flame of life I think… to know even once cold I will rise as smoke great write ❤️

Thanks for your kind words. I agree there isn’t a happy middle in this scenario.

I totally agree, having burned many times. The thought of never going for it and playing safe every time is more terrifying to me.

Some burn bright as others are content I suppose. Great ink.

hello lovely poetess this is beautiful you capture so brilliantly what all of us poets crave beauty by design great write ps I often go back to old poems and rewrite them a new way in search of just the right words ❤️

My friend, I could see you the poet with pen in hand composing strophes with your pen. Truly am very happy to read you here. This is truly a poet’s poem.
