Beautiful! I like how invoke all the senses (except taste) from beautiful sight of the moon, the smell of flowers, the feel of the wind and sound of stillness. I enjoyed the ethereal sense of enjoying nature at night.

Comment from Joan E.
Your choice of the Terza rima form as your vehicle for this lyrical poem is perfect, along with your title and the splendid, parallel artwork. I enjoyed your use of personification and alliteration to intensify your descriptions. Best wishes in the contest- Joan

Comment from Winslow
Dear Rod,
I enjoyed this poem very much. It flowed well and the language you used elevated it to an elegant level. As night comes on the moon lights the natural scene below.
Cheers,
Winslow

I am so pleased you think the language of REVELING WITH LUNA rose to an ?elegant? level. Thank you so much for the high praise and those six bright stars. Rod
Comment from BeasPeas
This is a lovely poem, a Terza Rima. Worded well. I can picture myself there at that tranquil place. You've spoken of my favorite time of day--daybreak--so these are my favorite lines:
"And listen to the stillness at the break
Of day as if all creatures have to hush
Till sleeping Gaia stirs herself awake."

I am delighted I could put you there, Marilyn, in that tranquil place. I found writing this Terza Rima more challenging, yet more fun, than writing a sonnet. Many thanks for specifying which lines were your favorite. Rod

I do like the form better than the sonnet. Shhhhh--don't tell anybody.
Comment from Gail Denham
Nicely done for this form. Wish our lavender had gone lush. We received some bushes from someone clearing out their garden - and the bushes look scruffy and small. The smells of lavender and lilac are so welcome.
Good job.

Comment from robyn corum
Dear Mystery Author, (--wink--)
I really enjoyed this beautiful entry for the contest. I have never attempted a terza rima, but the form seems challenging. Somehow, you've not only made it look simple, but also created one that appears ageless - like one from my old class poetry books. Ahhhh...
It's so lovely!!
Thank you and good luck!!

Oh, Robyn, I truly appreciate the flattering review. Yes, I find the Terza Rima even more challenging than a sonnet. Thank you so much for sharing mine.

I am soooo sorry! I meant to give you a six. I really loved your poem. Forgive me!???
-
Hey, nothing to forgive. I love the praise.

Thanks for being kind. I'm just slow. --sigh--
Comment from C. Gale Burnett
Exquisite and beautiful, each of the first 4 stanzas describing vividly the different senses (seeing, hearing, smelling, feeling) and neatly wrapping up in the ending couplet. I enjoyed the theme of this Terza Rima.
Excellent poem, color scheme and artwork.
Very best wishes in the contest!

Thank you so much, C. Gale, for your wonderful praise of REVELING WITH LUNA.
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Line five has 8 syllables? I think you need to make an adjustment to make it 10 syllables. Apart from this line, your Terza Rima is a good entry, good luck, love Dolly x

Hi Dolly. Thanks so much for sharing REVELING WITH LUNA. I recounted the syllables of line 5 and there are 10, but I noticed that the first line of stanza 3 is short two. Thanks for making me take a closer look.

This is the first Terza Rima poem I've read and I enjoyed it immensely. The poem rhymed, made sense, and entertained me. Good luck in the contest.
