Your verses virtually shimmer with moonbeams and gold. A well crafted 3-6-9 formatted suite of poems. With whispering moonlight, moonbeams caressing, and shrouded mysteries, this ensemble really comes to life. I really enjoyed it.

This is a very magical piece that transports me to another time and place enshrouded in mystery and wisdom. Stonehenge, perhaps. I enjoyed this one. Should do well in the contest.

I love this poem that told a wisdom about the moonlight with gentle emotion. You personified the moonbeams as an ancient sage that shaded wisdom on us at night when we were sleeping. Perhaps we will dream about it.

Well done. I'm out of six now.

You make it all seem so magical!

Excellent use of the 3-6-9 format, I myself find it very difficult.

The art that you selected really suits it perfectly, and evokes a certain mindset before the poem even begins. Well done!

I think I understand but rather than untold I would suggest once told though maybe I have misunderstood where you wanted the readers to go
Always yours

Beautiful imagery, Melissa.
The moon and I are dear friends.
Your form is "spot on," but there is one nit:

Your (You're) wakened ~

Thank you for sharing, and congratulations again on your 20 syllable poem win!

Best Wishes,
diane

Lovely poem in this most difficult form. The chosen art crowned your piece so beautifully.

One improvement, if I may. It's easily fixable and happens to me (using voice text) all the time. You're instead of your.
You're wakened by a moonbeam's caress....

I hope this is helpful and readies you for a contest win.
Sending you all my best, dear Melissa.
