Notes About The Poem

Written on April 14th 2025 for Constance  La France's 11 beautiful line prompt.

Majestic Moonlight Musings

underneath 
             the rare 
   glimmer 
              of a 
                        pink moon        

         a quietening 
                        zephyr 
    caresses 
               silken skin  
    calming 
the chaos 
               in my heart
    the noise 
                  of 
       modern 
                 life feels
 increasingly 
                       distant  
      while 
          freshly 
              budding 
                     leaves 
                             sway  
to the rhythm 
            of 
                  nature’s 
                         pirouette
         a 
            lone
                fawn 
                 approaches
                         a 
                   babbling
                             brook 
      whilst 
            I 
       lay
           amongst 
        emerald-green moss 
  watching 
      the Milky Way 
                glide by 
    t i m e 
            seems 
                       to slow 
     to 
    the flap 
  of a 
     woodcock's 
            wings
                    paradise 
  found 
          in my remote 
verdant cul-de-sac

I like this fragmented verse with many deep metaphoric layers, actually, Brian loves this as well, I have written too many of them. Congrats on your well-deserved win
