In the Realm of Luna

Shadows softly creep in the realm of Luna.
Twilight gleams; the goddess appears in glory
after Sun has sunk into mountains’ valley.
Peacefulness gathers. . . .

Clouds disperse; the queen’s entourage comes twinkling.
All the stars are equal in Luna’s heaven.
Even those that fall from the sky are wished on.
Dreams light their kingdom.

Beautifully executed Andrea. I have never written in this form. It looks like it might be challenging.

"The queen's entourage comes twinkling." Great visual line. I have to think of my dad and I out in the back yard looking up at the stars. Like I'm ten years old. Love, daver

Good effort Andie! Boy does that meter feel odd on the tongue [or is it just me?] is there any reason Sapphic meter can't be end rhymed? Light & Love
