Sad the death of your star. But closing your eyes and resting is like lovingly letting it go when it comes to its turn to die out. The star, though dark now, will remain glowing brightly in your heart.

A very well-written heartfelt three-line poem about our dying star that will appear as a bright white light which we should follow to find the eternal life entrance gates.

I think this is a good entry for the 3 Line Poetry contest.
This short verse tells of going to sleep, following a star.
Well done and I wish you luck with the contest.

That's such a deep, wonderfully written poem. I love how you can say so much using so few words. All in all, I really enjoyed reading this poem and I really like the image you chose for this one.

Short, sweet and to the point. There is a sort of comfort in the words you have chosen. Just close your eyes and go with the flow to a wonderful rest. It has a gentle tone to the thought, so peaceful.

I love this. The three lines manage to have a sort of gravity to them that is hard to get just right but you have managed that with this poem. I wish you the best of luck with the contest!

    Thank you very much for thinking so of this poem. It's difficult as you say to capture this much emotional gravity in a haiku.

A wonderful fantasy offering for the three-liner... great use of metaphor on the 'universal' scale... ;) :) Thanx for sharing and best of luck in the contest! ;)
