I really like the ancient ethereal atmosphere of this piece. The structure and use of rhyme create a sense of order and the vocabulary choices reflect the mystery of the night. Good luck for the contest! :)

This is a most sensual pondering on the softness of the moon.
Only to be wakened to the mysteries that are trimmed with gold.

The format is perfectly composed and the rhymes at the end of each stanza give your entry that extra clout.

Wishing you much luck with the contest committee. :)

-Nice image and presentation, Melissa.
-The syllable count is good, along with the topic.
-Effective imagery and rhyme describing the moon and its impact.
-I like the personification in verse one as the
moonlight tells "tales of old."
-The second verse follows that well with "secrets untold."
-A very good closing verse.
-A good entry; good luck!
