The photo is gorgeous. The blue and white is captivating. I like the scenes depicted and the imagery inspired. I like the use of these specific words: magic,consumption,
encounter,chime, and exposed.

For poetry, I think this captures firures of speech, casts a spell of emotiion and lpaints a picture.

However, I think it would do better by presenting some redeeming lesson--good or bad.

This poem has a seemingly carefree approach, yet gives a vivid picture of a well-lit night, in which we see something a bit unexpected and even dangerous. I find it interesting, though, that the bear has reasons to be content. I guess the diners at the restaurant created tasty leftovers.

From nature to man's refuse in one verse left me a bit disappointed however, such is certainly the reality of the grossly overpopulated world we are currently destroying.

I love what I call the toenail moon
It is a crescent and I love. The bear watching it too.
Moon ties us to nature and to toes
God bless

solid use of enjambment
effective use of personification
good touches of alliteration
wonderful characterization of the moon and the big dipper/Ursa Major :-) Brooke
