Hi Gypsy, the Moon has many admirers. He is quite a charmer. He has millions of women vying for his affection, and he is someone to tell our secrets to. Your poem reads and flows well and has good sensory appeal.

Of special note:
so I make do
with my lover,
the handsome moon.

(The moon will never hurt you/us, and will never abandon us. He is always there--dependable.)

Well done. Great graphics. A pleasure to read. Keep the blue waters flowing. Xo. M

Hi Gypsy Queen,
yes, I did see the moon that lit up our skies... and yes, stardust coats my existence as well as my skin.
Well, if I knew of this skylark and indeed we had them here, I'm sure its song would permeate my senses with sweet song.

The millions of feelings, the poems you send are more an echo than a return... and really, your lover, the moon... he's always available, reliable and true to his word.

So enough of the clowning... what a beautifully composed poem my dear friend. The words do reverberate, echo and linger in thought with each new question and statement.

A very impressive free verse... I love it!

With our thoughts we create...
an illuminated connection.

Kind regards,
James.

I'm pretty sure one can't go wrong when talking to the poem. The moon is a perfect subject for poetry because it's mystical and has an air of romance around it. Thank you for sharing this beauty with us.

Hi MariVal,
I like the format of this poem. The line breaks and space makes you feel for the speaker. She seems to have a case of unrequited love. But, dreaming under the moon seems to help her sadness.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

These are sad words as this love is unrequited and being wistful after a love fails will leave a melancholy mood under the moon, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

the moon is captivating the theme in this poem. Star light star bright; moon light, moon bright, I wish I may, I wish might, I wish I was the moon tonight. Do you remember this version when writing your poem. Romantic poetry.

Wow! A very romantic poem, Gypsy. I love moon poems. Moon attracted poets for centuries with its magic and lunar sorcery.

Amazing imagery and visuals, and the artistic presentation is above par.

Very much enjoyed, thank you for sharing.
