A Lovely entry for the contest; beautifully crafted peace. I'm still trying to think of an imaginary answer to the question posed by God.
My very best wishes in the contest.

Thanks, Precious. Did you get the astronomical reference?

I'm still racking my brain. All I can think of is Christmas.

When I ask God to make me a star, I'm referring to fame. He's saying to Himself, "I'll teach that guy a lesson." So He says "I'll make you a star." He's referring to a star up in the sky. The brightness of a star is measured in magnitude, and He also wants to know how far away do I want to be. There nearest star to Earth is 4.35 light years away.

You have to watch out for what pray for, you might get it. But we all have to dream big. What a wonderfully written poem.
Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.

Thanks, Mike. I just need to choose my words more carefully.
Comment from Seshadri_Sreenivasan
A very well-penned short poem with gentle humour. I too prayed to god many times in the past. He never bothered to respond! Or maybe I was too stupid to get the message. I have stopped doing it now! Good luck!

Thanks, Seshadri. I don't pray too much. When I look at all the misery throughout the world, I figure God has enough on his plate.
Comment from dragonpoet
This is an interesting conversation with God. Maybe he can make you a star after after you die so you can help light up the world. But it could be that you were asking to be famous not an eternal light to everyone.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Happy Holidays.

Thanks, Joan. I was asking to be famous. God thought He would teach me a lesson.

If you're not specific enough, with God, you may not get what you want. I was always taught that as a child. Now I believe God answers prayers on His schedule and His own way. No matter what you have a fine entry, you make the reader think, your words flow, perfect picture. Wonderful presentation.

Thanks, Carolyn. God also has a sense of humor.
Comment from Wendy G
A clever answer by God to your request - which I guess was then reconsidered! A well thought through small poem for the Naani contest, and it also provokes thought as to our life's priorities and what we should pray for, and to think about the ultimate wisdom of God ....Best wishes for your entry!

Thanks, Wendy. I think God knew what I wanted but chose to teach me a lesson.

You have created a wonderful Naani poem satisfying the requirements of the form. The subject matter is simple and the photo supports your work admirably. I think I'd like to be a star too - uncomplicated, glowing and happy. Thanks for sharing Franky

Thanks, Franky. I really wanted fame. I should have been more clear.
Comment from Tina Crute
I like the casual conversation with God, in casual colors. It makes your poem comfortable, accessible to the idea of asking God anything. You did well with this form. Your poem is unpretentious and childlike, innocent.
Nice write!
