Trailing rhyme in last end rhyme

__ Beautiful Fire bird flying over a green paradise, dreamy night sky, shimmering stars, fantastical, dreamcore, vibrant colors, vibrant flower... - AI Generated Artwork - NightCafe Creator ______________________________________________________________________

I dreamed a bird-of paradise arose one starry night.
Beautifully plumed, it floated in mystical moon-light.
I drifted along with it, as delicate as fine lace,
extraordinarily content, unconstrained and graceful.

Congratulations on your 2nd place win, Andrea. The 2nd place was a tough call as it had arrived in my contest inbox at a time when I needed the beautiful words to sooth my troubled mind. Thank you for that. The dreamlike quality of the imagery is well expressed in this elegantly worded poem. The trailing rhyme (lace/graceful) was perfectly executed. See my soup mail for details to claim your prize.
