This is very good and has a lilting quality to its lines. It flows nicely and doesn't have forced rhymes. The pic is just right for the poem too.

"When the senile moon" a lovely line that give the moon life that it give freely nightly the full moon is tired and worn and in need of rest, see her again in days to come bright and new.

Perfect picture to accompany your poem. It really looks like the moon is melting. I liked your poem. The night lullaby line sounds so tranquil. Great job.

A lovely 5-7-5 poem. I'm not too good with those. Personally, I don't think most of them make any sense but yours is very good. Seems as if you are just showing off your talent with this one, lol

This piece meets the criteria of the 5-7-5. The syllable count is correct as the photo compliments the piece well. This piece is short, sweet, to the point as I wish you the best of luck in the contest.

I like the imagery of the verse where the moon is melting and the night is singing a lullaby, but I'm not sure 'senile' fits the verse fro two reasons- there isn't anything else connected to the description to support the moon being personified this way, and it changes the tone from serenity where night sings a lullaby to almost filled with angst which is what senile conjures up for the reader. The rhyme is lovely and the flow of the first two lines works well, but it also hitches a bit in the final line where night sings 'a' lullaby. I'm happy to revisit this review if you make any changes- just reply back that you've done so and I'll re-review it.

I learned about 5-7-5 just today. I have found so much that fills my mind and hopefully makes me a better person in the shot time I've been on this site. The picture you painted in my mind was a full night in just 3 lines. Very good job.

I like this, interesting use of senile since both definitions (in my OLD dictionary) work.

Good form, right on the count.

You're right, this is a beautiful image for this poem. :) Carrie
