A Bad Star

The little boy
Picked petal
After petal
Off the purple
Star-shaped
Flower

“She loves me,
She loves me not”

Until his desperate
Little fingers
Ended on a final leaf
And a final “not”

It was a total
Dis-Aster

Thanks Rula!

Your title...

is good enough to catch my eye and that's what it is supposed to do. Good language and the rhythm was smooth and flowed well from beginning to end. I liked the theme and the devastated little boy, made it all come together in a smart play of words! Nice job! ~ Geezer.
