Hi Pupa -
This is a lovely, original idea for format, and you have achieved a sweet, yearning, eloquent tone for this poem. Really nice work!
I do think, although I gave 5 stars because it does not need to be changed to be excellent, it could be even better. I felt especially in 2nd stanza that the rhythm was thrown off a bit, and word choices might be even cleaner and sharper if honed a little more. TOTALLY up to you; I only have one specific suggestion to give you as an example of what I mean, but again this is just my opinion and it might mess up your rhythm.
2nd line 1st stanza: consider deleting 'to', comma, and 'them' to read 'Those loving hearts that gaze/you capture and amaze'?
Anyway, it's gorgeous as it is. Great job!

Comment from bard owl
This is just lovely. The moon has such mysterious powers affecting the earth, seems like it surely has the power over human hearts. And just looking at it seems magical. Your poem has gentle power and sincerity. It flows so smoothly with the underlying rhythm you have provided. And the artwork is perfect. Linda

Comment from Kentucky Sweet Pea
Awwww...this is gorgeous. I love it and I am a moon child (Cancer) so I do understand the power and magic of the moon.
Polly just told me Ezzy is back in the hospital again. She stopped breathing.
How horrifying this must be for all of them!
Love,
Pea

Oh my God, again? poor Ezzy and poor Polly. I can't believe what is happening to them. I will not ask God "why", guess we will never know, not in this life at least.
Thanks for the great review and for informing me about Polly, much appreciated.

Comment from jeana
I enjoyed your poem/prose It is creative and unique to envision that for which you have captured and creatived in these flowing passages. It is emotionally bound lined with love sought in mysticism of the moon's luminations. It is a wonderful read. jeana

Hi PUPA,
. You are so imaginative. I would have never of thought of writing a letter to the moon. Your poem gives thought to the part that the moon has played forever in the lives of the romantic at heart.
The rhyme and flow are excellent. Your thoughts are very clear. I saw nothing to change.
Thank you for sharing this well written poem with us God bless and best wishes!

Oh my dear Pupa.... your poem is so beautiful... heart felt longing... as I read I felt the cool night breeze and the glimmer of the full moon waiting, watching... I guess the moon can see your Mr Right too... for all you know, he is staring at the moon to, wishing for you :).

Very nicely expressed and full of great imagry. I love that it is in the form of a letter. Cast it out on the wind and let the moon read it. Nicely done. -Phill-Phonics
