This is a lovely poem. Descriptive and emotive. The imagery conjured up matches the emotions and the sadness of a lost love. You also chose a good image to support the words. I like this.

I enjoyed your poem. Love the picture. Goes well with the words. I like the words: subdued moonlight. Good luck in the contest.

This is a great entry for 5 lines but also the syllables count. The two combined is a great challenge.
It is a very descriptive poem and I wish you good luck in the contest.

Hello Beth. I enjoyed reading this verse and applaud you on a creative and well-written piece. This is a tear jerker for me... I feel so sorry for your main character and can understand how moonlight can draw the sadness into the night. Great write.

This five-line poem, Missing Him, has the proper formatting and sets up the atmosphere to make the fond memories possible and the ambiance especially sublime.

Beth,
Your five-line poem is melancholy; you set this ambiance using 'moonlight' and 'clouds,' utilizing a photo with deep, somber colors.
Your presentation is excellent.
Good luck,
Cindy

Your poem is beautiful and beautifully illustrated. I'm glad I had a 6 left because this one was so well written and tender, and it spoke to my heart as well.
