    So I wrote this poem for a contest, could you tell me if anything doesn’t flow right or how I could improve it before sending it in?

    The night sky, we all know
    Is filled with shining stars
    But they’re actually quite rare
    And very far apart

    There’s a vast empty space
    Round those meteoroids
    A thing we rarely mention
    And I call it the void

    All the dark, unchanging space
    Around the small pinpricks of light
    Often goes unnoticed
    When we stare up at the night

    Imagine earth without the stars
    Think of the thick, unyielding black
    We’d stumble from our homes, all blind
    With no light to guide us back

    But imagine earth without the void
    Think of the constant, solid light
    We’d be set ablaze and whither
    Without the calmness of the night

    The void, the black, is precious
    Far more than it knows
    It’s the constant, silent backdrop
    To all those stars’ bright glows

    And here on earth, under the sky
    Among our seas, and trees, and sand
    Some of us are voids as well
    And we all understand

    We sit back and applaud
    As our companions reach their height
    They’re glorified, and we’re ignored
    But we know that’s alright

    We know our worth is made
    Not by our silence, or our dark
    But by how faithfully we cradle
    Our friends, the glowing sparks
