Constance's Seven Beautiful Lines Contest >< 3/22/25

"Only in darkness can we glimpse the fullest light our soul carries for us." ~ Angie Weiland-Crosby Tonight, the moon appears to be a lustrous pearl A jewel in a pendant lying on a black velvet pillow Joined by diamonds in realms of a celestial world I'm mesmerized as I sit beneath limbs of a willow Faceted stars stand guard around a heavenly gate Open to the effulgent beauty of each glowing light I mutter in awe as I remain a shadow in the night

Dear Lin, perhaps it is the artist within you that can be seen through your word weaving too, the way you paint imagery is so very beautiful and this is so cosmically pleasing too! I love how youv described the moon and also how you’ve written “ Faceted stars stand guard around a heavenly gate Open to the effulgent beauty of each glowing light” iv had those moments and so it resonates! Exquisite take on the prompt words, well delivered! Beautiful it is! Best wishes for the contest. Sending you light always

Thank you very much, Ink. Celestial poetry always takes me places I'd like to be, although only in my imagination. I always appreciate you for telling me what lines you especially like. I've never dared put brush to canvas to paint such a scene. I don't think I could do it justice.

In only seven lines you have created vivid imagery here inspired by nature and the horizons.. Great use of metaphors for the moon and stars and the use of the four words has been done very well..

Seven lines kept me hemmed in, but I'm happy that you didn't find the boundary a hindrance to my entry. Thank you very much for your insight into my imagery.
