I've never heard a mean or negative thing about the moon. It's always there--just doing its job, as it has for eons. However, the exact meaning you intended for this poem became more apparent once I read your notes.
The background color seems strong, making it somewhat hard to read.
Thank you for writing.

Love can be constant - and yet be ever changing - as we grow within the relationship. The moon goes through different phases all month long, but you always can count on it rising every single night. I enjoyed your analogy.

The moon is always a comforting sight to behold for me.

A great entry for the ABC competition. I appreciate your author's notes identifying the metaphorical reference of the changing cycles of the moon to a relationship. Very clever. Best of luck.

Excellent entry for the ABC Poetry Contest.
 
Truth hurts sometimes but there are necessary in some instances. One doesn't want to hurt the ones they love.

I enjoyed reading it. I also enjoyed your unique style and well chosen words. Your writing flows naturally and it's easy to understand.

Good luck in the contest.
Well done.

Hesitant, blunt and silent just like the crescent moon. Good simile to emphasize the relationship. Knowing that you are still there, is that enough to comfort? Short and strong poem.

The moon is often a symbol of infidelity because of its constantly changing shape. You have interestingly taken the other point of view! Things and people may change but the essence remains!

Hard as it is, it is always best to bring things to light before we let our imaginations add details and scenarios that aren't real. This was a concisely written poem. I like the one word. One word style. The open ended question at the end was a nice touch. Gretchen

I think I've said before that I believe that feelings aren't our master we are there's and because we feel bad, doesn't mean anything, the heart is not to be trusted. This is beautifully written my friend, well done My friend, blessings Roy

This is an extremely creative poem! I like how this author compares
phases of the moon to relationships! Thank you for the author's notes -
