Your words paint such a pretty picture, even if there wasn't any picture. I love when you say the light glides on a glowing lake.
Beautiful!! Great job!

You paint a beautiful picture in your poem. The first thing I could see was the moon being draped in light. I liked your poem very much, it takes the reader to higher realms. K xx

I wasn't familiar with the term ekphrastic so I had to go and look it up. Once I did, I realized that this is absolutely the perfect example. Beautifully written, you paint the scene incredibly vividly for such a small word count constraint. Well done!

This little poem has a decided romantic feel to it. Very visual, very evocative. And somewhat mysterious, since you don't connect the images to anything emotional or specific. It's just a celebration of a beautiful moment. It could be the end of a day, or the beginning of a morning. estory

This is a an excellent poem. I enjoyed reading it very much. The personification and the alliteration are outstanding in so few words. The picture illustrates it very well.

This fifteen-word poem, Here Comes the Moon, has the proper word count and serves the lake, the light, and the moon up as we consider the awesome sight.
