How beautiful! It makes you want to believe in miracles such as wishing on stars. You captured the love and joy of the moment. It gives us all hope of finding love. Now I just have to find that darn star!

this poem made me smile as a I read it. This was another of your poetic pieces that just resonate so smoothly to a poetic vogue. I enjoy reading your poetic artistry and writing reviews for them... John

I was captivated by your use of dark and light - the juxtapostion and interplay - a wonderful illustration of the feelings we all have of longing and aloneness, and the transforming light that love brings into our lives. Thank you for the inspiration - I am going to keep wishing on that star!

Now this little offering is an absolute gem Brooke, the presentation is stunningly beautiful[well done] friend. The poem itself is exceptional, awesome visuals, wonderful flow, your repeated descending line was brilliant, I loved the last stanza most of all friend, worthy of six stars!

This is musical and mystical and I love the love theme here. You capture a feeling of being loved. You have such a steady beat and great flow of words and feelings.

A touch of delight graces this poem about how wishes upon a star may come true. How we all hope that these small minor miracles will be afforded to us. We all do it. We see a falling star and make a wish. Your Quatern is lovely and to my eye perfectly executed. It is a love poem full with the tenderest side of love. Almost shy and yet so beautifully written. Rose.

Pure brilliance. The repeating line is perfect for this poem, as is its ending alteration. Your words are always so powerful, and your meter soothing.
