Thank you for the honor and your hard work. A review of the poem by Erica

The poem “Starlight” by Malak Kalmoni Chehab fits perfectly with the theme “Cosmic Musings”! The poem beautifully explores the symbolism of starlight, using it as a metaphor for hope, optimism, and confidence.

There are 12 lines in the poem. Well done, Malak Kalmoni Chehab!

Some potential strengths of the poem include:

1. *Imagery*: The use of vivid descriptions like “bright living stars,” “shimmering wonder,” and “shooting star” effectively evokes the celestial theme.
2. *Emotional resonance*: The poem explores the emotional impact of starlight, conveying a sense of hope and optimism.

The poem’s message about finding confidence and strength in the symbolism of starlight is inspiring.

Congratulations 👏

Starlight

The darkened night sky is populated
By bright living stars that brightened
All our nightmares, giving us the radiance
That bundles us in a cocoon of confidence.

Such shimmering wonder shines into your soul,
Adding hope, optimism,  an irrefutable scowl
That repudiates all pessimism, darkness,
And the need to succumb to its insidious whispers.

The murmur of such powers is devastating
If not fenced and bound.  Placing
It in a securely locked chest, that is impossible,
To open when your will inters it with all that’s enjoyable.

Revere the wondrous effect of shooting star
That lightens your burdens and shines a spotlight
Upon all that’s good, wondrous,  loving, bright,
And endlessly supporting your strengths from within.
