Hello Cindy,
You've written a wonderful Lune poem and entry for the contest
with the excellent addition of the three rhymes and a nice touch of alliteration.
Excellent emotional link, the night would sky would be quite stark with the stars.
The art work matches very well.
Nicely done
Good luck in the contest
Robert

Thanks. I can't imagine the night sky without the stars.

This is a lovely Lune poem - simple, direct and smile-inducing. I appreciate that, although rhyme wasn't required, you rhymed all three lines. You made very good use of descriptive adjectives ("darkest," "soft") to paint a very specific image, which the photo you chose perfectly reinforces.

Very nicely written lune poem. The photo artwork is appealing but shows moonlight. Perhaps change "starlight" to "moonlight"? Or change the photo. The good news, no edits or adjustments necessary.

Thanks. That's an idea. The star pics on FanArt were pretty abstract and that wasn't what I wanted. I couldn't find one with stars only.

Excellent artwork to compliment your excellent poem. I love the night sky. This is a beautiful poem filled with lovely imagery. I enjoyed each line.

Well done.

Janet

Nice done mono-rhyme lune. It reminds us that starlight not only brightens the night but also gives calm and beauty.
Good luck in the contest. Keep writing

This is lovely. I always feel a sense of peace at night, in the quiet. I live in a place where the stars aren't drowned out by artificial light. Best of luck in the contest

Thanks. I live in the city, but from time to time I drive out to the country to see them.

Good luck in the Lune Poetry Contest. In three lines you have aptly described the beauty of the night- diamonds on black velvet it looks like at times. I enjoyed your descriptive poem.

Perfect use of words to create an impactive imagery. It is not easy to match words to the rhythm of this structured contest! Thank God for the endless universe of starlight! The peace is felt...

Thanks. That second line was a challenge. It was hard to get it down to three syllables.

reply by Diana L Crawford on 08-Jun-2019

I?m sure it was. I like though that you have to think outside the box to reach the creativity.
