The Pole Star

Twinkles in the glittering sky,
High raised brows, above lies,
Entertaining wanders way ahead.

Permanently glows at the spot,
On the axis of mother Earth,
Lasting long till new dawn,
Entertaining sky whole night.

Shines above all the heads,
Tottering through darkness,
Arises twinkling hopeful ray,
Rises above all that I say.

    cool!

    Intresting writing about yur name ! of course according to me
    Dhruva tara or the pole star or the northern star is the only thing in the sky that shines like none other! its very important for us to find direction but of more use to those in olden times am i right ?
    The poem includes all i said n you did a fine job writing about ur username ! i mean there is an importance when it comes to that particular star ..its constant ..n ur poem constantly expresses the importance of the star and its characteristics. FINE JOB !
    i like this line:
    Lasting long till new dawn,
    Entertaining sky whole night.
    this is a nice poem !keep it up !

    A-

    Dhruv is a really nice name, and with an awesome meaning.

    I think the sky theme is an excellent one for your username. It gives the poem and your username an ethereal feel, a not-of-this-world sort of character and being. 'The Pole Star' is something I've never heard of before, and it's a really interesting concept.

    I also like the way only the last two lines rhyme, it wraps up the poem very nicely. I just like this poem, I can't really think of why.

    Kudos, and good luck!

    Bekca.
