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. Written 8/29/13 by Andrea Dietrich for the SAPPHIC STANZA Contest of Craig Cornish

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
