MOON


                               MOON
                               orb that
                             floats in sky

                      oe’r azure-eyed hearts
                     entranced by silver wave
                    of lavish lumen’s rapt crush

             “glowing star in vault weaves romance.”

Awwwn the romance woven by moon! This is so visceral, evocative and enchanting.. such soothing lines you've hued from your poetic palette, dear Howard. "Hearts ripple" love that! "Azure -eyed soulmates" how magical and mystical is that! So beautifully written. Best wishes for the contest! Sending you starlight! 💫💫💜💜🌙⭐
