Ohhh, how I've been missing these kinds of beautiful, simple, straight-to-the-poet's-heart creations that are your calling card, Melissa. So gorgeously done...and did you ever find the PERFECT artwork for it, too!! I hope this boogies down to the Winner's Circle. xoxo

I often wish we had clearer skies and brighter stars here in the UK where the effect you feature in your three liner is often smothered by capital effect or cloud.

Hello Jim... here's to wishing you midnight skies bedecked in gems :). And the wish that you are awake to see them LOL. Thanks for the comments. Hope you are out and about enjoying the beginning of the holidays. I have a bad cold and major chest congestion, so I'm home nursing myself and grumbling ~ haha, not really, I feel too yucky to even do that. Thanks again.

This is a beautiful entry in the 3 line poetry contest. It is very soothing and I could go on looking at that gorgeous artwork forever. I think you are going to do well in the contest.

This is a magical post Melissa and I wonder, is that the moon or the sun bringing the light in your picture? If it is midnight, then it must be the moon. The stars are like gems and I enjoyed the scene described here, love Dolly x

Comment from Jasmine Girl
I love your use of active verb to describe the night sky that is full of beautiful and shining crystalline gems. Yes. It's like a animal coming to throw gems to the velvet blue sky.
Excellent.

The stars in the skies are heaven when touched, Melissa. You dress them in their heavenly beauty as they sparkle from your eyes. :) I wish I had your flair with words of wonder. This is a good entry for the 3 Line Poetry Contest. Thank you for sharing.

A good entry for the 3 line poem. Love the effect of the picture chosen for the ten words written. Crystalline gems on a sea of blue velvet - offers a beautiful visual to an inspiring scene. Well done on this strong entry for the competition.

Comment from Mark D. R.
Such a delicately penned Haiku Melissa!
I am not a fan of initial caps for Haiku. But to each is own (-:
For me, 'flung' is descriptive, but would prefer another word to go with my feeling that is paired with your use of 'bedecked' and 'delicate.'

Thanks Mark. So glad you liked it... I chose to capitalize Midnight because it was used as a proper noun... I know haiku is usually in lower case. I may change it. Thanks for the comments.
