Help! I'm writing
Help! I'm writing a story about a girl who is really good at writing poetry, the only problem being I have no inspiration for the topics I want her to write about!
So... could some of you fabulous poets lend a hand? The topics I want her to write about are stars and apologies, but creatively.
I will tell you if I'm using your poems in the story. Thanks!

This on is definitely not as good.
When the stars
Shine at night
I look out
Of my window.
And their beauty
Is bright
As many
Diamonds.
I feel
That they are
Awaiting
For someone
To catch them
Not far
From the beauty
Of their heart.

Man! I wrote a couple but I guess they didn't submit!
~
It was supposed to be
you and me
against the world.
It's your fault
that I'm alone now
chasing star-dotted dreams
of star-crossed lovers
who all bring hot poison
to kiss-soaked lips.
Each time I begin
I think that maybe things
will turn out differently
(that they'll grow gardens in their gashes,
make bruises into beauty,
turn wishes for weapons
into wishes for whimsy)
that they'll say,
"I'm sorry,"
before it's too late.

If you're down on your luck,
just go out to see,
all the birds and trees.
The wind and the water,
the painter and potter.
The sun will shine again,
your problems will mend.
But if you ever find yourself back at the start,
just open your window, don't be left in the dark.
You can always find something you've never seen,
as long as you can be bright and keen.

The stars are brilliant
don't explain them to me
tiny crystals of salt across a
silken
dark
blue background
don't tell me
they're really just bits of hydrogen and helium and
exactness
because they're not
they're beautiful and liquid
and they glow suspended in the air
and they're a revelation
don't tell me that's just a mix of gases in the air
I don't even really like that poem that I just wrote, but thank you so much for giving me a prompt, I felt like I needed to write something.
