I like this poem it rolls along really well with no hidden agenda and is pleasing to my inner ear,if I can put it that way
Interesting comment Petrova - I must say that Mars and stars would seem to make a perfect rhyme, whereas afar would be a little forced.... I would concede however that I'm not entirely happy with the last line, so that may yet be tweaked. :)
Best wishes, Dave

Hi Dave,
I read the first verse and thought, "yes please!"
The second I found wonderful too until "Mars", I'm bothered by the rhyme, I'd prefer to contemplate their beauty from afar.
The third verse is very wordy. doesn't flow as well as the first two, which have a gentle rhythm, though I appreciate the sentiments expressed.

Hello again Dave,
I hear what you're saying about forced rhymes and when all's said and done these are your words, my opinion is only one & I'm by no means an expert nor can we please everyone all the time ;)
Still think it's a lovely piece all the same. Blanket in the woods - definitely!
With respect,
Petrova.
