Signs

"Stars, I see stars in your eyes".

Is this obvious?

Is it love?

    Another beautiful piece and form. I haven't heard of this so thanks again for widening my knowledge.

    You write so much in so little.

    Hello Samia.

    I love reading your work, not only because of the imagination and creativity you regularly display, but because I always seem to learn a new form from you.
    I have written a few different pieces of formed poetry since joining the site (learning from people like you) and will attempt this one too when I get a minute.

    I hope you are well,
    Ben

      Hi Ben,

      Thank you so much for these kind words, it's a pleasure to hear this from a talented member like you. I'm grateful that many old members didn't delete their poetry forms, P&Q is one of the best online resources for all kinds of poetry, and I'm still learning just like you :)
