Notes About The Poem
Ammended today by adding
Does silence hear its fall.?

An Evening of Bling

Inscribe you silvered crescent moon,your downward flowing pall

On village, parkland, swamp or cove, does silence hear its fall.?

Across the bluff's in muted form, that undulate like frozen sea

Where whispering waves of sound; make play this night,

Before daylight; will by his presence drown.."

Had to look up bling, Joe. At first I thought it might be badda boom, badda bling. Seriously this is a very sensitive piece of work. Congrats on the selection. Love, daver

Oh, "before daylight, will by his presence drown", there will certainly be the "pall" of "whispering waves"! This can be seen from different viewpoints, Joe? Or, is it the silence that heralds the break of day? Allbeit, this won't last long and his drowning pall will take on louder, and wakeful sounds.:) Lots to think about here, Joe!! Might be feeling the moon's pall, I see no moon tonight! Best wishes, Love, Mikki

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your moon bling poem... you have great description and could this be a free verse or prose poetry? I think so I am not an expert.

You have used very fine images with semi alliteration, Joe
