The fact that this poem is a prayer drew me to it. To me, this poem says that God answers prayer. 'He said to me, "All right."'

God lets us decide and then He will guide. 'What magnitude? How far?"'
Your message is well stated. Best wishes in the contest.

Thanks, LJ. Sometimes He says, "Not this time."

Good luck in the contest with this sweet little naani. I suspect Naanis don't usually rhyme but there is nothing in the rules against this and it does give the poem a strong ending and assists with the rhythm and tunefulness as well.

I also like the addition of dialog which always makes a poem more interesting - in this case of course, a dialog with God. What could be more interesting that that?

Thanks, Steve. We'll have a longer dialogue with God later.

Be careful what you ask for, the result may be more than you can handle. This is especially true if you are not specific in what you ask for. Recent experiences with Alexa has demonstrated that point quite clearly.

Love your poem.
Like the rhyming also within its presentation.
Answering a question like this would not be a hard choice.
The stars in the sky are beautiful at night.

Hello, excellent entry for the Naani writing prompt contest. I guess with God all is possible. To be a famous super star or a heaven star. Good syllables and lines count. Good connection between lines. Good luck in the contest.

I like this. Your poem is very clever, with a lovely dry wit. It's rather nice to think of God having a sense of humor. And becoming a celestial being that people can enjoy forever is a much better wish than enjoying fleeting fame anyway.

You are probably right. Fame is fleeting.

Stars get eons, while we each get fifteen minutes of fame. It does make you think.

Funny I don't picture God having to ask a question, I think he'd know the perfect star to make you. Good luck in the contest. Very nice job. Stay safe and stay healthy.

The twist at the end is worthy of the wait. I try to read more short poems than I used to, because although short, some are giving, and very good.
My best.
Well done.
