Upon The Starship Pheonix

I look upon the night skies
And a little star twinkle
Like a pixie in the sky

My lil sis Jeanette got her wings
Among the stars darting forth
From left to right she dances for me
Upon the starship Phoenix.

Hi Carolina girl

I get the feeling this is based on reality so you have my sympathy. I hope to see you around more

As Stan said it feels like reality in which case a critique is not applicable.

The shortness actually adds to the emotion. Just the right amount of depth & feeling to create the scene & atmosphere.

Well delivered,

One.
