A Love Story

The stars reflect her beauty

While competing for her smile

Each one thinks her love is theirs

While filled with blind denial

She continues to entice them

As each one feels her stare

Her love belongs to all of them

But none will choose to share

A falling star is nothing more

Than a star with a broken heart

Crippled by her rejection

It will suddenly fall apart

Whenever you see a twinkling star

It's just the Lover's dance

Vying for her attention

In its quest to find romance

The Dippers, both big and small

Were formed to quench her thirst

They stand in line to honor her

As they battle to be the first

The Northern Star takes precedence

As he points which way to go

His countenance is blinding

As he absorbs her radiant glow

So, don't forget to watch the stars

And smile each time they swoon

For now you know this love story

Between the stars and moon

3rd verse and second line seems to read better as 'broken heart' than 'a broken heart' - minor point i know but I wouldnt say it if i didnt think this poem was worth it.
Brilliant usage of the heavens and belongs in a book - i can see it in a children's book, maybe contact j. donaldson :)
