This is a delightful poem, full of fun and creativity and beauty. The rhythm is a little off in the last line of the first stanza. ("Then moved along again" would fix it.

This was a joy to read. The poem flows well and has a little anticipation and wonder of who the visitor is. A calming feel with the photo and words together. Thank you. Diana

What a wonderful visitor to have, a moonbeam. They are beautiful. I watched a movie a while back and they mentioned moonbows. I did some research and there are moonbows. Thank you for sharing this poem with us.

I love it. Greta job. I wouldn't have guessed in a thousand years.
I had to look up eiderdown. It works well.
I think 'trickled' is what threw me.
Best wishes.

Barry, what a delightful little poem you have penned. I was trying to figure out what nasty little thing this "it" was all about. But the simplicity of the imagery led to a beautiful conclusion. Well done. Terry.

I enjoyed the anticipation, although you told it with the picture lol. You wouldn't have known until the completion of reading. I like the way you were subtle with description, leaving room for curiosity. Well done.

Lovely picture. I like to watch the sky at night. Moonlight beams are better for the eyes than the sun.

This poem gives me a silent feeling, it is peaceful and calm . You won't have nightmare buy s sweet dream.

Thank you for sharing.

Happy writing

What a sweet, endearing poem you have penned. I like the way you lead us to believe it is something undesirable. Then you treat us to the discovery that is is s moonbeam. Nicely done!

Hello Barry :)
I enjoyed reading your rhymed poem.
It is light and gentle and the theme is lovely.
Your rhyme and meter are sound and the imagery of the moonbeam exploring your bedroom is beautiful.
Thank you for sharing.
Best wishes, Debra :)
