many stars
shining in firmament
splendor to night sky
all enticing
what to choose?
i receive light
from tiny of remotest
only thankful,
without picking brightest
Author notes
many stars to choose, brightest hides

i like it. its simple yet elegant and i think that short poems are much more meaningful than long poems because since its shorter each word holds more power.

I suppose were are all left
choice less in some things and they may not be the brightest or the dimmer and yes we should be thankful for what light we get , good write

You did a terrific job with this one. You were
able to portray wonderful imagery and emotion
in only a few lines. I really enjoyed this very
much! great job. -
This is an original take on the prompt... I love the word 'firmament'
... I really like the imagery of the night sky and the message of the second stanza - an interesting read thank you so much for entering this contest!
Keep writing

This is such a lovely poem about the stars. You have used such lovely imagery here, I love looking at the stars. All the best for the contest.

The title suggests that making no choice is the best course in this situation. I agree, one star is not better than another and all of them contribute to the beauty of the night sky. This is a wonderful metaphor.
