Beautiful illustration. Beautiful poem. I like the way you described the moon as senile as it most be very, very old. Not much else to say.

Thanks for posting.

Your poem creates a wonderful image in such a few words. It was a pleasure to read. Your use of words such as "melting" and "lullaby" created a dreamlike image which is very well suited for the night. Great job!

Senile moon, I love it. Great originality for the image of the moon. Great art image and the black background colors brought out the writing.

Senile moon is perfect. I love this poems with as few words as possible to create a picture. It really makes you think of which words to choose, and how to put them together. You did an awesome job.

I like this haiku. It has the exact imagery attributed to the moon. I was wondering if you were saying saying senile because the moon forgets it's suppose to be gone in the morning?

Very good 5-7-5 poem, which to me are quite challenging. It has a sweet statement that speaks to the beauty of the night sky, and the moon in particular of course. I love the way you described the earth's shadow as the moon 'melting in the sky.' And the photo is a perfect addition to the black background of the poem. Great job:)

Yes, I added it up on my stubby fingers and it is a perfect 5-7-5. The last line: Night sings a lullaby reminds of living in country where crickets and owls sing to the moon. It true that night has music all its own. Good work.

I'm honestly having trouble with the imagery here. The moon is forgetful or weak with old age, melting, and singing? being senile doesn't fit with singing a lullaby. Seems like serene is more likely to go with lullaby as its soothing.

    Hi,Thank you for your honest review..And please let me explain to you as you questioned ..The moon is not singing, the night is singing, and melting is just an imagination,everyone's perception is different,it is how we look things with our mind.
    Thanks again for your rating and reviewing.Appreciate it.

A lovely poem. Your words flows well. Great use of poetic devices in this poem. My favorite line was, "Goes melting in the sky". Great poem.
