A fine scene described here as you reach for the moon to escape the darkness and rise above the gloom, an ambient write and I enjoyed the ride, love Dolly x

This is really intense and immensely thought-provoking. I wonder what the person is rising above and how the moon must represent hope. Beautifully done!

The moon is night time's defense against the shadows, reflecting the sun's smile to bless the world with ghostly approval. I very much enjoyed your lune poem - even the trees yearn to touch the moon :-)

This is quite the poem that embodies a personal ambition to 'rise above all darkness' while 'reaching for the moon.' It appears to adhere perfectly to the form's 5-3-5 syllable count. It seems to underscore the importance of having high standards. Good luck in that contest.

Nice one. Good lune. I actually like this form. I have been writing a lot about moons and dark skies lately. Lovely sentiment in these dark times. Lovely presentation

I like the positive stance of "rising above all darkness" which I take metaphorically not physically. I feel the first line of "branches of life" didn't quite prepare me for the contrast with the darkness. I guess the "darkness" could symbolize death.
