This is a very nice 575 poem about the beauty of the night and the moon and stars. I love your alliteration in the words moody midnight. Your syllable count is correct. Great job and thank you for sharing.

I think this is a very good entry for the 5-7-5 Night writing prompt.
I like the idea that midnight drapes a cloak with stars and broaches.
Well done and I wish you luck with the contest.

Very good. Great color that makes the words stand out. Many do not like the dark but I find it relaxing. Good luck in the contest. Darkness should not be feared.

    Thank you! I appreciate your review. I like the dark - it sharpens the senses. I enjoy camping and listening to the night life.

I like how this poem seems to be written by an interior decorator describing the heavens she would design with "rich midnight drapes" embroidered with brooches of "crystal stars." A clever approach to astral poetry. Rod

Hello Anon Writer
I like this - I have always seen the night as a cloak of holes, it is a fresh image to me to be asked to see the reverse and he idea of the stars as adornments tothe night.
I wish you well with this piece.
cheers

    Thanks Phill. I used to think of stars as pinpricks into a brighter world myself, but then when I was sleeping outdoors for a while some years ago, camping in outback Australia, I became more aware of stars - they seemed much bigger and sparkled like jewellery.
