A very well-written sonnet about the wonderful times of togetherness with a loved one on moonlit romantic walks where the couple usually open their hearts to each other.

Thank you so much for your lovely review.

Beautifully written, smooth, and wonderful rhymes!
Your poem, even without the image you've chosen to go with it, paints a lovely picture. You've captured the feeling of love inside each word, in each rhyme. The last two lines I really like. I feel like it just...sort of sums up the whole poem!
I do have one suggestion...
You might want to consider making the font bigger, it is rather hard to read. :)
Other then that, you have an excellent poem here!

I was so intrigued with the explanation of your topic as I had never heard it before and it seems like it is an old, well used one. That one seems to have gotten by me somehow. Well written and good luck in the contest.

This talks of a gentle love where each is a light for the other to help follow their shared path. It is romantic and alludes to eternal love and the blessing and gift love is.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. It warmed my love the expression, ?walk the moon home,? which is a saying from my mother?s teenage years. Thanks, too, for the lovely stars.
Comment from Vanna1
Such lofty wording, it takes me to the moon! You really used your words well here to describe new love. The presentation is good. I didn't notice the moon in the pic right away, so I was like what does this have to do with the piece? Ha. Then I notice the moon...time for glasses!

Hello Mary
This is a super piece. Lovely and so very gentle. Not much is written in this style with such skill. You have taken the words and the form, avoided the pitfalls and 'created' something. It could easily have become parody, but, as I say, you're too skilled for that.
The whole atmosphere, your points of reference, and your very selective vocabulary combine to make this a rewarding read.
Great use of feminine endings too!
I wish you well with this piece...lovely work.
cheers

This poem is like a fresh edit of an old and often narrated love poem. I like your introduction related to music and a song. Romance, love, and songs always go together. Well done.
