What a great little poem! I think we all can relate to being in our youth and wanting fame and fortune as a "star." But you gave a humorous reply to God taking it quite literally. Congratulations on your second place finish!

Thanks, Helen. You have to choose your words carefully when talking to God.

Wonderful Naani poem, Paul. I find the Lord to be specific. That's usually how I know it's Him. Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming contest,
Sal :))

Thanks, Sal. God is always playing tricks on me.
Comment from Bill Schott
This naani, A Star is Born, using four lines and twenty-four syllables, gives the readers some guidance on what to ask for beyond the general goal.
The drifter said he once prayed to God to let him become somebody. He knows now that he should have been more specific.

Comment from jbrax wilkn
Lovely naani poem with a bit of clever double meaning available in the request to be a "star". Were God and the requestor on the same page? Can Omniscience pretend playful misunderstanding? Or would that be Omnipotence playing a joke? Words are just so full of all kinds of crazy thoughts. Initially, I enjoyed the light spirituality of your poem, and then I enjoyed the fun I had with "hidden" (or maybe not) interpretation I found (or invented) in the word "star". Your picture may (or may not) be misleading. Anyway... entirely enough of my foolishness. Bottom line, thank you for sharing a lovely poem.

Thanks for the review. I'd hate to see your review of a long poem. Haha.

Hello Paul, Very good, very cute. I like your play on the word, Star. Nice twist at the ending which made me laugh just a wee bit. Lovely artwork choice. Good syllable count. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

' A Star is Born ' is short, succinct and delightfully descriptive. The wit and wisdom of this poet's work has great appeal. I look forward to seeing your next post. Good luck with the contest. My fingers are crossed for you!

Hello Paul,
An exquisite naani.
Love the message and element of rhyme.
I also appreciate the inclusion of dialogue. Huge fan of dialogue in poetry, and yours made me smile.
Best Wishes!

Thanks, Diane. It's sometimes tough to incorporate rhyme in the short ones.

What a beautiful Naani writing prompt entry.
I loved the freedom you allowed in talking to God about the desires of your heart.
Exquisitely done.

Thanks for the review. I have to talk to God every once in awhile about various things.
Comment from SimianSavant
I was half expecting to see a picture of Elvis on here. This is a good sort of double meaning to have in your poem. Nice double rhyme. The only improvement I recommend is changing your background to black, and your text to some light color, so that it fits better with the image. I think this will be a significant visual upgrade. thank you for the read!
