A Gleam of Hope

by June Sargent

Twinkle twinkle little star
Do you know how great you are
Eyes that sparkle oh so bright
In a world as dark as night

Mind not dimmed by doubt or fear
Full of hope we hold so dear
For a world that's free from hate
Your young heart will help create

Twinkle twinkle little star
Pure intentions will go far
Just pursue each goal and dream
Someday peace may reign supreme



Twinkle Twinkle Twist writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt
Twist on the nursery rhyme Twinkle, twinkle
Original poem:
Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are

Your challenge:
Somehow change the nursery rhyme... it can be completely different or keep the idea of the star. However, the only line from the original poem you can use is "Twinkle, twinkle little star"
You can add on multiple stanzas, varying from 2, to 4, to 6 lines apiece. The rhyming pattern must be as followed:
For 2 line stanzas: aa
For 4 line stanzas: aa, bb
For 6 line stanzas: aa, bb, aa
(Near rhymes are fine)
Have fun with it!
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
