Your Joseph's Star poem is perfectly shaped like a Christmas ornament! I like your definition of a "story" which can be to entertain or to instruct but we all love stories!

You did a great job, Debra, with your Joseph's Star poem. Your syllable count is correct per line, the words are well-chosen with good flow, the image is supportive, and your thoughts well-expressed.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

You are doing well, Debra. Another great poem to add to the list for you NaPoWriMo for this year. Two down, 28 to go. I bet you're pleased I'm keeping count for you. Lol. Well done, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Hi Sandra :)
Thanks for your feedback!
I'm not really sure about the form - it's definitely not one of my favourites, but I thought I'd give it a try!
Best wishes as always, Debra x

Spot-on definition of a story. Kudos for giving a heads-up on a poeetry form I never heard of.

(Mine usually conflate factual and fictional: i.e. inspired by truth, enhanced by imagination.)

I have never heard of a Joseph's star before Debra. Did you invent it? I enjoyed your description of a story here, I love stories and have been reading them all my life, much enjoyed, love Dolly x
