Comment from Joy Graham

Congratulations on winning this contest. The poetry form is tough to work with so few syllables. I love the picture you used. It makes me think of the bright star the wise men followed to find baby Jesus. So the timing of this picture is perfect. Your syllables all work for me. I stumbled on, "prayer" because I pronounce it as one syllable to rhyme with chair. Different dialects in different parts of the world. I don't begrudge you pronouncing it differently then me. You have a nice feel good message that makes me think of the Disney song from Pinocchio. We all have many wishes in our hearts.

Sincerely,

Joy xx

I rarely give six stars to short works, but this one deserves them. :-) Totally lovely five - seven - five in words, message, artwork, colors and font. Congratulations on your well deserved win!
