Frequently asked questions
Avoid the cliché 'star/far/are' trio by pairing star with unexpected rhymes from the -er family (her, blur, stir). Try: 'you're my star / but I'm just a blur' for vulnerability, or reverse the expectation by using star as a metaphor for smallness rather than greatness ('I'm a dead star / cold and far'). This flips the word's typical aspirational weight and feels fresh.
