Stars are Amazing but not that much use In A Crisis! by Ruth Broome

 

And the star’s listened.
I’m sure they heard my silent scream.
But what could they do?
They were not alone here with you.
I was.

Agree with Suzie, a lot packed in and it leaves me wanting to know more! But so effective to leave it as it is!

I was lost (and alone) when I saw the stars in the poem.

Your short well-composed poem made me feel so desolate for you Ruth.
