Comment from Sarah Tummey
I love the first line, and it was interesting to read your notes about why Lune was invented as well. I haven't tried writing one myself yet. I really hope yours does well in the contest.

Short, concise, but powerful. Cotton candy clouds - it sounds really nice when read aloud. This poem can be interpreted in many ways, for instance I can see the dark sides of the life (black mountains) lurking in the shade of everything that is fair and fine.

Gypsy,
I really like the artwork visual, coloring, and the imagery in your first two lines. Of course, alliteration is a frequent visitor with my posts. Your first line surely does that for me. The last line is a slight mystery to me as I am unsure of its intent or meaning. You can clue me in if you so choose.
As an alternative, "behind black mountains" keeps the same syllable count. As with any poem, the creator 'knows' the meaning of the specific words or phrasing.
I have often seen that Lune poems are flush left (like a crescent moon image) and not centered, but I doubt it is a fast and hard rule. Lately, I have used the flush left alignment for all my Lune entries.
Best wishes in the contest voting.
Mark

Thank you very much for the kind review and feedback. I wasn't happy with my lune so I changed it completely. I had a couple of people confused. :)

Your imagery is beautiful. Cotton candy clouds and black mountains are opposing ideas that somehow come together to create a lovely picture. Thanks for sharing.
