Sunlight is dogmatic
Stubbornly insisting
On the optimistic rosy tint
That stings skin at the beach

Well seeing as I am of African American/ Indian descent I can only imagine the horror. But nonetheless I like it all the same. Congrats.

When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn’t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out
The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay
If love produced a blossom/I’d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I’d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven
And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel

Dear Star,, Only half as sweet as you :D

Oh Star!! Congratulations on the publication! Totally deserved! This one is exceptional. I LOVE when you call the Sun "dogmatic" And all the rest of it is pretty awesome too, I just don't know how to praise it more except for the fact that I mostly DO NOT love summers but this one actually made me quite cheerful about it :))

The imagery is great in this piece. It also made me laugh because I deal with sunburn every time I walk outside. Good job!

The poem is great. Even though the poem doesn't rhyme, it feels like it does. It has a definite beat and voice. I would really appreciate it if you could check out some of my poems. Thanks.
