Once in a Great Blue Moon

Hello readers, welcome to OCpoetry. This subreddit is a writing workshop community -- a place where poets of all skill levels can share, enjoy, and talk about each other's poetry. Every person who's shared, including the OP above, has given some feedback (those are the links in the post) and hopes to receive some in return (from you, the readers).

If you really enjoyed this poem and just want to drop a quick comment, to show some appreciation or give kudos, things like "great job!" or "made me cry", or "loved it" or "so relateable", please do. Everyone loves a compliment. Thanks for taking the time to read and enjoy.

If you want to share your own poem, you'll need to give this writer some detailed feedback. Good feedback explains from your point of view what it was like to read the poem, and then tries to explain how the poem made you feel like that. If you're not sure what that means, check out our feedback guide, or look through the comment sections of any other post here, or click the links to the author's feedback above. If you're not sure whether your comments are feedback, or you have any other questions, please send us a modmail.

I'm getting the narrator is pining over a love that actuates only very infrequently, as in a long-distance relationship, which makes the astronomical reference even more resounding.

The imagery was powerful, giving a sense of cold and isolation.

“What use is a shallow wish from the shooting stars that leave nothing but an empty sky full of scars”

👏what a powerful line and clever wordplay. This is a lovely poem

Reminds me of that long poem at the end of Minecraft that is somehow one of the most inspiring poems ever. Anyways, nice job. Very deep, interesting.
