Hi,
Thirds two line stanzas show how nature works to make the night as tuneful as possible the day.
Keep writing and stay healthy
.Good luck with the contest.

The author's words are clear, descriptive and creative. I found the poem
interesting to read. I pondered on the second stanza and how the sunlight
strikes on the Moon's surface as the author states. The poem flows and
connects well. The artwork is awesome and goes well with this poem.

Exquisitely written and your overall presentation was great. By this I mean: the font size and style were great and the image and background color all coordinated nicely. Also, your word choice was very good and made the poem a pleasure to read. I see no way to improve this!

Great Job! Best of luck to you for the contest!

Congratulations on trying successfully a new style of poetry! You have done a fine job of writing what it means to lighten the night with the slivery moon and stars. The picture is magnificent and is chosen well for this poem.
Thanks for sharing this new style and for showing us in your author's notes how it is supposed to be done.
Jesse

I have never heard of a Lune poem. I didn't know there were Kelly and Collom forms. I don't know how you poets keep up with all the different forms of poetry. But I do like the imagery, and your ability to paint a picture is outstanding. Well done. Terry.

    Just typical old age challenges, likegetting a pacer maker onboarded in a few days...

    That does not sound like fun. Hope everything goes okay, and it makes a difference in your life. Compared to that I am doing great! Take care and be well.

I loved this short, witty evocative poem about a nightingale bird flying at night with the moonlight reflecting off his wings as he flies through the night

I'm not familiar with this style of poetry. I liked the imagery. Almost like postitive/negative images. The moonlight had it imagery and the sunlight had its own imagery. Sort of like poetic yen and ��. Very beautiful poem. Gretchen
