A Thousand Words

First of all, I would like to give credit to Vienna @see-through-stars (Tumblr) who posted the title prompt as a mod on _writing_ideas_ on Instagram and its counterpart writing-ideas-inc on Tumblr. (see  https://www.instagram.com/p/B21VuRIAg0K/ )       Anyway, as mentioned in the post title, I would like to explain the meaning behind the poem as I fear that my intention is not delivered well through the poem. So first, the title A Crown of A Thousand Stars is interpreted as the honour of hopes and dreams. I'll tell you the reason behind my interpretation.       Crown is associated with honour, glory, pride or victory while stars often symbolise hopes, dreams, magics or wonders. To wear a crown of a thousand stars meant to honour a thousand of your dreams and wonders.

Hello and good day to all😊  This blog exists as a medium to post my series of creative writing in order to fulfil my third task of the course TSLB3252 (Creative Writing).

Anyway, let me tell you a little bit about this blog name and its URL. As you can see, this blog name is A Thousand Words and it is as literal as it is. Though it is named A Thousand Words because the song A Thousand Years was playing in my head, I thought that it would sound good if I named it like so. For publicity purposes, see. And, won't all the creative posts here reach 1000 words, after all?  . However, is it enough to convey our complex emotions with a thousand words? Have you ever heard this: "a thousand words and I still can't tell you I like you" (the pickup line, phew). Have you ever felt li...
