Introduction
This is a sonnet about a star that no one sees.
The song is "Star" by Stealers Wheel
I Am A Star
πβπͺππͺβπ
Adrift In This Vast Black Cosmic Void
From A Bright Constellation So Far
I Am Not A Comet Or Asteroid
I Am Here To Tell I Am A Star
πππ
I Have Wandered Through The Milky Way
Between Black Holes And Dwarfs. Red And White
I'm Always Moving, I Will Not Stay
I Will Bathe You In My Bright Starlight
πππ
I Have Seen The Horse Head Nebula
Darkness Of Space, The Blackness Of Night
I Will Always Be The Brightest Star
Like A Million Suns, I'm That Bright
πππ
You' May See Me As I Fly So Far
I Have No Doubt, I Am A True Star

I Don't Wanna Be Nice
Introduction Armed with "Ten Years In An Open Necked Shirt", I have stolen lines from the poems of John Cooper Clarke to weave this masterpiece. The platform has made it clear that I cannot write poetry (in their misinformed opinion), so I am taking the words of a real, recognised poet, The Bard Of Salford.

Do You have a Support Network?
Life is harder when youβre on your own. Human beings are social creatures, and we usually feel better when we have support from a strong social network around us. For most people, itβs our families that hold us together like glue.

Whether seen or not, still & always a tiny flash of brilliance.
Lovely work Mike! Very profound! πΈ
You will always be the brightest star Mike. Loved your poem!
Oh I really enjoyed this one mate :)
Can imagine, well I guess you did, what it's like to travel through space, wandering around, seeing all the things and just continuing onward? Nice job!! I loved the "wandered the Milky Way between Black Holes and Dwarfs."
Felt inspirational and so peaceful and tranquil
So enjoyable, Mike <3
A more technical version to 'Twinkle, twinkle little star how I wonder what you are.' Good job.
I came back to say I enjoyed the music, too. Lovely lovely. π«
This poem sounds so cute to me! It gives a good feeling, too. π«
I really enjoyed this piece, Mike! Your word choices worked so well :) A lovely read this evening.
