We think of a quiet light with a bright moon, and with blossoms all about to reflect its light. It calms our spirits, and opens our minds to new thoughts.

I like your poem- it flows nicely - the presentation is different and interesting- gives a simple picture of the moon in the arms of the trees - good job

Gypsy,

The artwork for this post was outstanding. It is paired nicely with your poem. Your verse really feels like a Haiku, especially the first two lines. The juxtaposition was not obvious in your last line since the poem read, for me like a full sentence.

    Yeah, this is a 5/7/5 for the contest and goes by different rules than haiku. For 5/7/5 poems It's okay to read like a sentence.

I like the image of the moon nestling, it is a comforting line. This is a unique poem about the moon. I think of the moon comforting me but in your words the moon is comforted. Excellent haiku form and use of words.

Love all the poetic personification in your 5-7-5! The idea that the moon is "nestling" gives me a cozy feeling and that the trees are like sentinels sends a sense of security. Is the Flower Moon next month? or April?

    It's a may moon in the native American moon almanac. I'll add that to the author notes.

    Thank you very much, Helen. I always appreciate your exceptional reviews. Blessings.
