Her pride
Made her perch
Among the stars.
Her pride
Made her exile
And live homeless.

Homeless! ! ! With the ride of pride! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
A well conveyed poetic expression.. Simply splendid.....10+++++
Pride takes us to lofty locations, pride sequesters us from peers and makes us live lonely. An excellent poem that deserves full marks,5/5 from me. I was impressed by the most economic use of words to portray a complete scenario.
This is the beautiful paradox: pride lifts her up, then casts her away—perched among the stars, only to leave her homeless in exile.
Once one perches with stars, he/she is sure to fall. Nice write.
One who with a self assigned position among the stars will definitely lose her original status and will have to remain homeless

Pride is something like a big boulder that seats us in a high pedestal. But Alas! when it falls, it crashes with a thud rendering us totally helpless and homeless. Most profound and intelligent poem that all of us should ponder deeply. Thank you dear Rose.....Many stars!
