Leaping for the Stars

by ShootingStar179   Mar 18, 2007


Leaping for the stars when all the world is against me,
Climbing over rooftops and clouds of fear,
So high up that I am more than you thought I could be,
Do not hold your child from the dreams she holds so dear.

Anything that is up in the sky,
How this girl dreams of success and love,
Reaching oh so high,
Let her go to reach for the stars above

One night I thought of this phrase that will push me forever,
Make the moon be the candy of your eye,
For even if you fail,
You will fall into the stars of the sky.

Perhaps this is just a scream for success and fame,
I will make it, just wait and see
That when you look up into the sky,
You will look into the happiness of me.

    Excellent poem, I thought it was written well and very much enjoyed the theme behind it although I don't know why you chose to rhyme all the lines in the first two stanzas but not in the second two. Anyways, it was still a good piece, I really enjoy your work! 5/5

    I love the rhyming...flows through without appearing forced. Thanks for your comment on my poem. That's my view on life...a lot of it is bitter sweet. Glad you can pick it up in my writing :) Hope things are well
