Thank you for all your thorough and kind reviews. I look forward to reading your insights into my poetry.

May you have a happy and prosperous new year for you have time for all that you desire. Especially writing.

Simply brilliant.

You've sprinkled her memory with your own star dust here, very lovely

Moving in celestial rather than temporal circles seems to be the hallmark of those who are "set apart", perhaps. Some are just born with an extra-special aura, I think, which cannot be earned or learned, leaving all the rest in the shade. Fame is indeed fickle, yet to be truly celebrated defies both fashion and time. Your "stars" are always beautifully graced with both poise and intelligence; creativity and originality. They are dancers who lead by example and captivate with their esprit and motion. Theirs is an extra-terrestrial existance and this is a fabulous poem for me to seek to purloin having just moved into an apartment on the banks of the Thames not 150 yards from the house where Gustav Holst first sketched scenes for his Planets Suite: maybe it was the Lady in his life that inspired them! :)) Feliz Ano Nuevo, Amigo!

There's a bunch but my guess is Liz Taylor if you are testing us. Patrick

I marvel at your flow, the aftermath of which is a cheerful, floaty feeling!
Happy New Years,

Jude,
Nicely done, Bravo!!! I feel honored by this poem because I am the one of those designers that make those stars look beautiful and memorable. Hope you had a great Christmas. I have been consumed with family and work for the past few days...sorry to have missed this wonderful poem.

Much peace, light and love,
Amber

One who lived and died doing what
one loves best is such a blessing!!
*Jude* take a bow for your writing!!!

Lady Vivian

THERE ARE STARS...AND THEN THERE ARE...'STARS'! AND YES...THERE ARE ONLY A SPECIAL 'FEW' OF THESE. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

She sounds special, indeed.

I´m sure the star door is open for you. Great tribute to a star that lived in the stars.

I'll have to walk the stars on the Boulevard again, there are so many, so many, so many,,,,, Merry Christmas Jude!

This reminds me of the immortal Marilyn, her legend lives far beyond her years and I think that she would be a star not only in life, but also in death; a glimmering light shining down for all eternity. Beautiful words form bigger than life images in this wonderful offering. Merry Christmas and the happiest of New years.
Take care,
Sherry

...only a few souls seem to qualify for this meritorious tribute... Katherine Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Jo Ann Sayers, Cayle Chernin, or Rose Burton, to name a few...

Figured I would have a shower before reading AD...and remembered your writing and figured I would come here first :-)

I love it when you enter the twilight! I think often..how to I share with everyone the experiences I am having now....you don't have any problems that way do you? Smile.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!

I see you talking about someone who THINKS she was a star. Maybe i'm looking t the irony too much.

Maybe I missed a recent death, but the poem is a sure-fire different take, but one that is more personal than what is usually read about a star's death. Last two lines, dynamite.
