Hello, you do a great job of personification of the moon. I liked this poem and it was an engaging read that held my attention. Good imagery and the picture is a perfect fit for the poem.

I saw no errors, Mermaids, and would definitely recommend this well-written verse to other readers for review, cheers, Ana.

What an ingenious idea to write in the person of the moon! It really gives the reader a whole new place of imagination. Congratulations on a great poem. I really enjoyed reading it, because it makes me wonder if the moon and stars talk to each other, lol.

Beautiful and easy to follow poem. I like the rhythm and the rhyming scheme you used.
One small comment. In stanza, even if only two lines, 6, I feel that the use of the word 'rotator' is taking away from the poem. What I mean is that the words chosen throughout the poem are really pleasant, while 'rotator' is so...scientific. I wish there were another word that could rhyme with 'craters'.

Good point about the word rotator. I struggle with rhyme and find it difficult to rhyme words. Thanks for your thoughtful review. Elaine

A poem which personifies the moon as a watchful and benevolent "illustrious being" in the sky. Interesting perspective on the relationship between the earth and it's satellite, though I guess we have always had "the man in the moon" haven't we?

Interesting work.

Fantasy poem that sounds true. The personification of the moon makes it humanly "approachable" and understood. I enjoyed the clarity of poetic language.

A whimsical poem that gives the moon a sense of humor:

my friends the happy glowing stars
remind me I am not the planet Mars

LOL sounds like a sales pitch for coming to the moon.
Nicely done with the rhyming and the idea of what the moon would be thinking. I would not have been so gentle.lol
