Oh, how lovely! This wee poem is such a joy to read (and the imagery it evokes is so beautiful)! I am not surprised it is a contest winner. Congratulations!

Hi Melissa,
This is a well done poem that follows the prompt perfectly. It is a good image and use of metaphor. I like that the font color matches the artwork.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

That was magnificent.

I loved the rhyming first two lines.

The word choice and phrasing of line three was exceptional.

Kudos...I wish you luck in the contest

Love the connection you made with diamonds on a velvet pillow as one sees at a jewelry store to stars in the midnight sky. Such a lovely poem. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes in the contest.

You got the syllable count right, and you used great words to paint a beautiful mental image. I especially like "radiant diamond shards." The picture you selected to accompany this poem was lovely as well. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Yes an image of a nighttime sky eloquently and effectively captured here in these relatively few words, enhanced with end rhyming scheme -thanks for sharing

Ah, now this is very poetic and even without the picture, the words alone paint an almost magical scene. Is it magic or the random nature of the universe. Who knows.

Excellent work and execution.
