Notes About The Poem

In the middle of the night, when butterflies dance to the moon's song Contest

Fluttering in Moonlight

Their fluttering starts in moonlight When Luna reaches zenith height She croons as butterflies take flight Magical night Magical night I was in awe without askance Mesmerized as if in a trance A cotillion of circumstance Butterflies dance Butterflies dance On nights when the golden moon sings They flit in nocturnal musings What pleasure to me their waltz brings On velvet wings On velvet wings What a delightful sight to see When they whirl with grand revelry Dancing with such joyful esprit In front of me In front of me It's a garden party soiree Beneath the moon and stars they sway A charming celestial ballet Then fly away Then fly away

Five smashing monorhymes come together in an enchanting whole. Best of luck in the contest, Lin.

I enjoy the monorhyme form Lin; you write them well. In this one the repetition is very soothing: "soiree;" "sway," and "ballet" in the last stanza softly "fly away." Thanks
