Hello congrats on the win.

It's 10:35 am...

Wow! This poem is awesome! I love the language you use, kind of like the old style English and fluent in the sentence, rather than all broken up into new sentences and cliché joining words.

The meaning and messages inside the poem are quite touching, along with your wording, making this poem very enjoyable to read.

I like the line in which you beg the world to grant one wish, just one wish for one lonely soul, that really paints a big picture for me, it shows loneliness and how simple it can sometimes seem to find that happiness and comfort.

The metaphors here are very creative and quite unique for me, such as your star line, baring the burden, that was great! Great imagery!

Overall, this poem is very well laid out, and I enjoyed reading it.

Congratulations on your win.

I like the message in this poem. Mankind has done some atrocities to this beautiful world yet nature like a patient mother still holds onto us. I also like the tone of this poem, its sincerity and true feelings as well as the language. A beautiful read and Congratulations on the win!

5/5.Congrats for the win.Enjoyable read.

Judging comment:

What stood out to me was how you confronted "the world", asking with conviction and concern in your voice that this world be a foundation for you to grow upon. You have a humble voice here and your requests are so human, for lack of a better word. We all long to love and be loved, to have some confirmation that some things in our lives haven't changed, that they have remained what we know. Such strength in this piece where you guide the world to resolve, hold firm, shudder not. I feel that can be open to interpretation with many situations. Beautifully written and this piece opened my eyes. The stanza that stopped me and made me think the most was the second to last one. That gave me great insight, how true that the world bares such a burden. We question it, tear it down, try to interpret and explain, but what do we always know? I also found hope in this piece, that we must keep waiting and the world must wait with us until that one day where wishes are granted, peace is reached, and there is a time where one can thrive, and not live in darkness. My only suggestion would be to work on the formatting in the first two stanzas as you have a few lines that are longer and don't have as much structure as the last stanza, unless you intended this. This was quite an enriching poem, well done. (10)

Wow, this is absolutely great, Maher! Asking the world to hold on for you...this is indeed extraordinary because we people live on the belief of the opposite...we hold on for the world. :-)
