I like your play on words that moonlight making funny 'phases' in reflections on the water.I think it's clever. I've never seen that particular substitution.

Great play on words in this nice little 5-7-5 without the 'face' of the man in the moon. The description of the "funny phases' is very well done.Nice image as well.

As a child I often fantasized about walking and climbing on moonbeams. This poem paints a brief picture of their dance on water. The play with words in the last line is clever.

"Funny Phases," heh-heh... I like that; nice play on words. This is a well thought out 5-7-5, not to mention a good, solid entry for this particular contest. I think you'll do quite well.
Good luck!

Excellent! You brought me to a place of serenity in such few words. The picture compliments your poem beautifully. I need to read them all to be fair, but so far yours is the best.

Very clever double-meaning play on words 3rd line, Gypsy.
Just a friendly, humble suggestion:
In these 'shorties', imagery is paramount, as I'm sure you know, so EVERY word needs to be utilised to convey it.
Of course, 'beautiful' is a lovely word, but it's pretty non-descriptive and could apply to many things in different ways. So, 'Beautiful' in which way exactly, if I'm making any sense? Maybe think of another word to compliment the 'moonlight'.
I hope you don't mind my suggestion, and I won't be at all offended if you ignore it.
Best wishes, Ray xx
