Last night, while I drifted in curious slumber Awakened from sleep by the man in the moon Who peeked in my window and filtered the room With twinkling star lights, in rhythmic numbers The heavens were alive with musical rumbles The clouds gathered round to melodious tunes Last night, while I drifted in curious slumber Awakened from sleep by the man in the moon Outside on the lawn, trees were dancing the rumba With the breeze blowing in, curtains curled pirouettes While two lonely nightingales were singing duets I was dancing in tune with the man in the moon

oh, boy, this is amazing, CArrie. the imagery alone. I know it would win somethin in MY book. So here I go again probably saying something incorrect. Did he not tell us to call this a rondel instead of free verse? now I gotta go check THOSe rules out again. hahaha. LUv, andrea

love the imagination, the music is delightful a bit on the curious side, but with the sense of this becoming a bedtime story one day. Most enjoyed,..p.d.
