Loved your poem and the picture. Great imagery on both. Great use of the form and message. I was entranced and wanted to be there.

Yes, now this is what dancing with the stars should always mean. You paint a picture perfect scene, and your count is also perfect. Well done.

By interchanging words as used commonly, you have given an inkling of creativity. Instead of 'stars twinkle' and '' heart dances', your last two lines have left a lasting impression.

-Good photo and presentation for your poem.
-Good format.
-I like your choice of topic.
-The first line is an effective image with "Moonlit night".
-I like the second line with a double reference to dancing under the stars and with the stars (on the show!).
-Nice conclusion that ties in to the stars theme.

    Thanks respa1 for the excellent review and I'm glad you picked up on the double meaning.

    You are welcome. Glad you appreciated the reference to the double meaning. That means you did a good job in writing about it!

    You are the only one who picked up on that! Good for you!

    I will admit my secret is watching the show:) But I still say "Kudos" to you for putting the reference in the title and the poem. The idea was in my head that you were writing about that! Thanks for the info, too:)

A very romantic picture dancing in the moonlight. I've danced in the moonlight . It was soft, cozy, and breathtaking.
A good entry for the contest. Good luck

This is a solid 3-5-3 writing prompt entry. With very few words you are able to nicely describe the joy felt by two people dancing under the stars. Well done and good luck in the competition.

Since it is a short poem, having the title as one of the lines felt like a lack of substance. However, the last line is cute and I can relate.

    I took your comments into consideration and changed the title to the first line Moonlit Night so as to give less of the poem away. I don't think I want a totally different title. That was a good observation though. Check it out now.
reply by the author on 13-Oct-2015
    Since you liked that oneeven less, I changed the title back to my original, Dancing with the Stars, which I preferred, since it has a double reference: Dancing with the Stars - the t.v. program; and Dancing with the stars (above in the sky.) Haiku and Senryu usually have the first line of the poem as the title so a line should be o.k. here in a 3-5-3.
