Like the stars, even when
you die, you'll still
burn brighter than life.

As a lover of the stars, those tiny fickle b*stards that brightly shine throughout any weather, I love this poem and hope I too can shine brightly even when I'm dead.

This is so small, once again. This had much more potential to become a bigger, beautiful poem if you pushed and stretched it a bit more. It's like taffy! Great job still, it makes me want to write. And that means its good.

Another amazing Haiku you wrote. For me personally, I really enjoy the ending of this Haiku, it gives a feeling of hope and that the person speaking in this poem will always care for the individual. I like your use of your words such as using stars and brighter, life and die. The words connect with each other and work together really well.
