She had fair skin as soft as snow, with long golden hair that curled in wavy patterns down to the small of her back. Her deep ocean blues mirrored the starry night which shown the moon in the sparkle of her eyes. She was standing on the highest hill, the one closest to the stars, where the trees towered over her like giants with leaves that moved uncontrollably at the beckoning of the wind. She was smiling. It was subtle but there. Something was special about this night and she knew it. She could
We as humans look up for answers, hoping to find something wandering in the stars. Often asking ourselves, “could I have done something different today?” Petersen portrays this in the first stanza—“Stars, you are the heavens’ flock/tangling your pale wool across the night sky.” Stars form constellations that everyone see differently, seeking answers within the pictures
Two poems that share or have a similar meaning are "The Daffodils" written by William Wordsworth and "Miracle on St David's Day" written by Gillian Clarke.

Jean Toomer’s poem “November Cotton Flower” is a curious narrative work which tells a tale of surprise and superstition. It chronicles the story of a grim and lifeless November, where water reserves have dried, birds are dying, and cotton plants are bare.

“My chubby cheeks didn’t complement my short stature, and the bowl haircut topping it all off wasn’t helping. My personal life was flopping hard, and between custody hearings to decide which family I was going to live with… I was a bit stressed for twelve years old,” (Oakley 35).
