No one stirs the night, but the wind Old wind chimes play to the moon Caught in the breeze they swoon to soothe the dark night... Used to lure sleep Reap dreams from night with ease _________________________________ 10/10/15 For Contest Infinite Infinitians Sponsored by Charlotte Jade Puddifoot

You make an extremely challenging form look easy! I especially love the image of the wind chimes "playing to the moon." I could see it perfectly. Congrats on your win :)

We have windchimes front and back of our home Carrie. The chimes in back my husband made himself and they have a rich deep tone. We live on a windy hillside so they lull us to sleep. This lovely poem is a fave for me. Congratulations on your first place win! #7

i knew this one was going to place at the top, carrie, it's such a beautiful rendering of the form...the repetition of those 'oo' and 'ee' sounds, soothing and lulling...once again the moon shines brightly for you, it rises in so many of your poems, i think it must be prominent in your birth chart! congrats on your 1st place in my contest!
