What a great write, simplistic and true. When you read the word melting, I instantly thought of a scoop of ice cream sitting in a cone. The pic is well done.

This is a calming and gentle read. You still the reader with 'senile', 'melting' and 'lullaby'. In a very short poem you have captured a vast illusory image. It is lovely. Thank you very much. invisible.touch x

When the senile moon
Goes on melting in the sky
Night sings lullaby.

I haven't heard the moon described as senile, but it works here. I love the line, "Goes on melting in the sky", very descriptive and creates many thoughts.
Well done... John

This was lovely! I've never heard of a moon described as senile. That was my favorite line. Short, sweet, and lovely! That is how I would describe your poem! Great job

Hi firdousy,

You have penned a fabulous 5/7/5 contest. Your word choices are expressive and the syllable count is spot on. The notion of the moon melting in the sky is a line I wish I had written. Well done and good luck in the contest....blessings, chey

This paints such a beautiful picture in my mind when the moon goes on melting in the sky. Night does sing a lullaby with all the singing of birds and crickets and such.
Lovely

This is interesting, except I wasn't sure why the word 'senile' was used. I was trying to connect the idea of singing a lullaby to calm a senior citizen down but felt that might need more development.
