Original Poetry Fan Fiction ❯ The Unlikely Poet's Notebook ❯ "No" I respond ( Chapter 11 )
[ A - All Readers ]
WE walk together
under the blanket of night
You point skyward
"That one?"
"No" I respond
You look around
trying for a second time
you point elsewhere
"How about that one?"
"No" I respond
You look once more
determination
in your darting eyes
"Then it must be that one?"
"No" I respond
"Then which?"
You ask me
And we stop
I turn to face you
"The brightest
and most beautiful
of all the stars tonight
Is walking by my side"
