Just a little something I threw together...

The Stars
The stars, they shine so brightly
They light the sky in a swirling dance
They twinkle, fade, and reappear
They put most all into a trance
Some soar, some stay, some twirl about
But most just twinkle, fade, appear
They light the sky in shows of light
They blink, wink, swirl, twirl, reappear
Putting most into a trance
Induced by their swirling dance

I liked it. But...

They put most all into a trance

That line sounds a little off. Maybe leave out 'all'.

They blink, wink, swirl, twirl, reappear


This has too many sylables(sp?). I think you should take out one of the words. I'm not sure which one, though.

The other main problem with it is that it just ends. I think you should make it longer.

I liked the immagery, and its rhythm is really good. biggrin

(It's syllables)
Thank you for the critique!
I'll see if I can work on it a bit, make it longer and the sort.
And that long line is supposed to be said kinda fast.
It's weird, but when I write, I come up with this specific rhythm, and if you hear it out of that rhythm, it sounds kinda off ^_^;;
It's kinda like (For that specific line):
Du--DA-Du--DA-Du-DADADA
sweatdrop

And the line you said sounds a bit off, it's another thing where you have to say it just right ^_^;;;;;;

I'll see if I can edit it to be a bit easier to read...
