Wonderful work...specially the last stanza...much inspiring
A brilliant poem with great inbuilt message! Admired the lyrical touch into the undertaken concept!
The message and rhyme scheme work hand in hand and there are no dust-ups (except man and womankind) in this splendid write. To paraphrase your rhymes; 'let us trust in more than dust after we turn to rust.' Your poet notes are informative and wonderfully detailed!
A brilliant poem you have crafted dear poet. Thanks for sharing such beautiful poem. Great write

I’m pleased that you noticed my care in constructing the lines. Thank you.
Phenomenal imagery, you've captured some beautiful words every line is captivating exploration into the life of stars. I love the celestial nature of this poem, its not often writers truly explore the cosmic canvass of the brilliance of stellar matter. I love the recurring theme in the lines of dust to dust, even stars for all their brilliance are like all life finite creations. We are all star dust. Magnificent poem well chosen for POTD!
Such superlative remarks lift my spirits to the stars and encourage me on creatively. Thank you so much!

Within the poem's form is set the day-to-day humanity together with the thoughts and dreams and finally the.wonderful image of stellar dust. The adherence to the form of the Rondeau adds power to this poem.
Ah, you have really expressed what I was hoping to capture in the poem. I appreciate the encouragement.
All you see is actually a celestial dust and end up in the dust of the earth. Great.
