Remarkably good tyburns, I think. I have so much trouble doing even one of them well. Here you've done three outstanding pieces. Bravo, Gershon

Quite creative and descriptive one, Howard. I can remember writing one or more of this form and remember it wasn't so easy to write but you make it seem like it flowed smoothly with no effort. Way to go. If for a contest, it reads like a good contender. 👏✍️. Sara K.

Your lovely words I will keep close to my heart always, Sara. Have to agree, in common with any other syllable based form one has to proceed with caution. Howard

Dear Howard, your smart use of alliteration and rhyme in this gem of a poem paints a lively and whimsical picture of the moon. The lively rhythm adds to its charm, making it captivating and creative. Its depth of themes makes it even more powerful.

A delightfully musical moon-poem, full of whirling sound and charcoal-silver imagery. The repeated word clusters create a dreamy, orbiting rhythm that beautifully suits the lunar subject.
