I love this symphony and love these band members. There are cute and very capable. You are right on target for an acrostic poem with the first letter and the sound.

Exceptionally done.

Your use of the literary technique of alliteration will draw the reader in. The fun part of this poem is how much use of another literary technique, onomatopoeia there is. You have effected the sounds of the night populaton. For readers who have never have had such a night life experience, they can have a little sense with your choice of words.

This is a very nice and original season's acrostic poem. It reads very well. I so like moonlight lullabies...Soft and very enchanting melodies. It was a pleasure to read.

It's filed under stories as opposed to poems so that's my only real comment but the piece as a poem is well done. Great work and best of luck in the contest. Thanks for sharing. Later daze.

    I guess it did, Tina😊 You have a great day and enjoy your success.
reply by the author on 02-Sep-2020
    Haha. I guess that means I am learning from the best! Pray for me today? Going to see someone very dear before she goes to heaven. Who knew a heart could feel this heavy?
    I appreciate you!
reply by Pam (respa) on 02-Sep-2020
    I will do that, Tina. I am sorry about your friend, but I know you will provide comfort for her.
reply by the author on 02-Sep-2020
    Thank you Pam. She passed away minutes before I got to her.:(
    I just came on here as a diversion today. I appreciate you much.
reply by Pam (respa) on 02-Sep-2020
    I am sorry, Tina, but maybe she sensed that you would. There have been strange stories sometimes of what people think or hear before they pass on. Take care of yourself.
reply by the author on 02-Sep-2020
    You may be right. She spared me. Even down to her last breath, she was a saint through and through. :)
    I will write about her. That will help.
    She was actually like a second Momma to me. I called her Momma Dillard and her husband, Daddy Dillard. Them's some good people!
    God blessed me with them.
reply by Pam (respa) on 03-Sep-2020
    Thanks for sharing, Tina. I was wondering who the Dillards were. They sound like people you can lean on, too. I think it will help writing about her, and she would like that.

Very nice poem. Many of my summer nights I stayed awake because the crickets were too loud. And if I heard any movements from the nocturnals, I prayed they weren't close. If only I had seen it as a beautiful symphony played just for me I might have slept better. LOL Great job. Veenbee

This is an excellent acrostic poem--vividly descriptive, with an appealing variety of strong nouns and adjectives; skillfully composed, with good rhythm and rhyme.
