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](https://new.reddit.com/r/ocpoetry/wiki/feedbackcritiques), or look 

i love the magical theme. *Fae prince, we are not unalike/ Secreting true names away/ to be kept unbound,/to live free* is especially nice. If im not being nit-picky though, I wouldnt put a period on the third-last line, nor would i have left the one above it without a period or comma *or* something? feels a bit choppy.

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it! As far as the question mark goes that’s actually a bit of a hazy area. It’s a rhetorical question so it doesn’t require a question mark according to some and it does according to others.

I loved the way you used the 4 elements! Since you said “will” would you need a question mark after or it’s a statement?🥺 sorry learning as I go

Life like the breathe of sputtering candles,

Often vain and poisonous and guttural.

Casting shadows to keep darkness at bay.

Would a wish be a nebula,

Fathomless cloud of dust.

A star waiting for birth.

The price of light,

crushing gravity, to be burned for creation.

Distorting the peace of a universe.

Fae prince, we are not unalike

Secreting true names away,

to be kept unbound,

to live free.

Space and time, no illusion, no reprieve.

Will the sea of stars have room for one such as me

Return my being to earth and water.

My soul I give to wind and fire.
