Good morning, Wendy!
I have no idea how I missed reviewing your exceptionally well-crafted lune poem, but I suspect I was distracted by a very active two-year-old grandson!
Regardless, know for a certainty that your lune is moving and resonates deeply with me.
I appreciate the imagery of the moon being shadowed by sadness, and yet, a sliver of hope shines through...How I often step outside of our home and look to the moon for comfort... especially during these times.

Congratulations!

Hi Wendy,
This is a very strong metaphoric poem that seems written for the picture.
It could be of the hope of the ray of light leading out of the darkness of doubt and depressions.
Congrats on placing second in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Happy Thanksgiving.
Joan

Well done on this, Wendy, and a great entry for the contest. The use of the words "silver" and "sliver" are very effective. The moon has been so beautiful the last week.

Indeed, there is a "sliver" of positivity in every situation.

Reminds a lot of the adage no matter what may be your lot in life build something on it.

Just like that "sliver shines" even when the overall picture is "shadowed".

There is much emotional meaning behind these words as even in grief we try and shine behind the shroud of sadness, much enjoyed Wendy, a very atmospheric piece, love Dolly x

This is a perfect example of Lune verse, as the syllable count is correct.

You have captured the essence of this poetry style.

I appreciate the overall presentation.

You leave a strong message of positivity and endurance.

Poetry is a gift from the poet to the reader...
you give the gift of hope.
