Sparkles Remain...

The night is full of
Forlorn stars which
Stand apart from
Corner of the sky.

What we can observe
Is tiny portion
Of this loneliness.

When we're admiring
The moonshine's brightness,
Would we forget the
Little sparkling stars.

We think we know all
Stars' secrets by heart.
Yet how many of
Us, take time to ob-
serve through telescope
To get to know each.

A star may be beu
tiful yet none cares
To glance at. The spark-
les remain the knots
To stars' heart...

The sparkles remain
Left unnoticed...

I like it, but I'm not sure I understand why you have wrapped some of the words onto the next lines near the end of the poem. it cuts into the meaning a bit I think, making it just that little bit harder to read.
But other than that, i think you've done s great job.. and I love the title, it's perfect.

Bless your cotten sockies, you poetic maniacs. ^_^

Eliza:  I do like this poem, but I have to agree with Yu Lan, that cutting words in two and carrying them to another line is very distracting.  At least is for me and apparently for her too.  It's a fine poem and would be more impressive, I think if you changed that one thing.
