Never underestimate star power
it can truly devour
your heart and soul
with rock n roll
when loss is felt
your heart just melts
you can cry rivers of tears
even tho their music can last for years
too many stars are leaving us
so we're all making quite a fuss
my head's still spinning over Prince
I just can't comprehend
it's really the end
such a devastating loss
we all can go at any time
that's always been a pet peeve of mine

2016 April PAD Challenge: Day 22
By: Robert Lee Brewer | April 22, 2016
For today’s prompt, take the phrase “Star (blank),” replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write the poem. Possible titles include: “Star-struck,” “Star Man,” “Star Wars Prequels Aren’t Star Wars Movies,” “Starter Set,” “Stark Raving Mad,” and so on. Remember: I’m totally fine with prompts that get bent a bit.
