Hi Mickey, I can see why you won. CONGRATULATIONS! Not easy to get a message across with so few words but you managed it. Your poem says a lot - very well done. Great title. Regards Dorothy

What a wonderfully creative poem, Michael. I particularly appreciate your inclusion of wishing upon a star, which I think many readers can relate to, myself included. And, of course, I think most can also relate to the "rejection". Congrats on winning this contest. My only wish is that there was a wishing star in your image. I would change nothing about your wonderful words. Best, RFL

Mikey: congrats on your win. I'll have to learn your techniques
of painting in words on photos. Hope you are enjoying your
fun in the sun. I've been staining my deck chocolate brown. I'm
striped with stain on my arm. LOL. My next goal is to make
s'mores on my fire pit. Come over and chat anytime. flylikeaneagle

A very thoughtful love poem, Mike, and I believe many have found themselves in such a sad place...to love, and not be loved in return....to have loved and then to lose...yet to lose doesn't mean that we forget...The darkness of the picture you choose goes well with your words...death took my loved one, any yet there's always going to be a place in my heart, and mind for him...
Though this was somewhat sad, I still enjoyed it...it was an original way to say what many know, and have experienced along life's way...
Thanks for sharing this, and congratulations on the win...
Hugs,
Victoria

A very heart-felt offering expressed in so few words. Wonderful job. The dark atmosphere expressed well with the picture and the blue coloring. The reader could feel the disappointment of the situation.

A very well-written love poem with only fifteen word the most important words we like to hear does not matter when our love is true, even when we are rejected by the one we loves the most.

A great poem about love, a love that continued even when rejected. I would say that it's true love as long as you leave the person alone who rejected you. May the stars bring your love to you.

Good but somewhat sad. If you are not loved by someone in return nothing will work out. Good word flow short with a story and easy read. Good luck in the contest.

This is beautiful and the picture fits perfectly into the sentiment. Very well done. Unconditional love is real love; it is patient and waits longingly.
Kindest regards to you and yours,
Sally

I adore the minimalist photo/font combination. In this case less is more.
Do I see a hint of stalker in this one? Certainly sounds like it.
" Your rejection - changed nothing."
There is also the (unintended?) implication of "touching the star" referring to a Hollywood star(let) of some kind as well. If this was intended then its truly a great little poem filled with trickery. If it was accidental.... TELL THEM it was intentional.
Very very good.... but how much of it was intentional? That's the question.
Good luck in the contest.
