Lustrous Luna

Lustrous Luna works midnight magic
 As it glitters golden in rhythmic ripples
 Onto ocean's briny billows,
 Distant diamonds flicker a twinkling tune
 as winds whoosh through the palm trees,
 Lovers lost in enchanted embrace
 Find fulfillment in gleeful gazes

 This is  an example for Contest, 
 Similar Vowel sounds are allowed, (lines 3 and 6), but  in 2 lines only.

THE MOON IS BEAUTIFUL, BUT IS A TEMPTRESS, PEOPLE CANNOT HELP BUT INDULGE IN ROMANCE FOR THE MOON IS ENTICING AND EXCITING, AND PROMISES OF ETERNAL LOVE SEEM THE NATURAL THING TO DO IN THE MOONLIGHT - SORRY ABOUT CAPS. JOSEPH - it happens sometimes.

a fantastic example, Joseph. I don't know if I asked you already, but can the alliteration be inside or at the end of words as well? Sorry if I already asked and you answered me. I am getting so forgetful!

Such a beautiful thought. "glitters golden in rhythmic ripples" So dreamy and romantic. Everything about the moon is so magical and mysterious. Your thoughts caress softly around me. :) Brandy
