written for Hilo Poet contest, not sure if i got this right but wanted to give it a try.

Natural: The moon is an artist, she sees what ebbs and flows beneath silver-kissed seas. And in sweet seclusion, she sprinkles cosmic dust upon our warm haven, while locked in pale stillness. And I've heard sapphire rays, synchronize melodies in unwritten cadence. But there’s never a song complete, without blushing rare petals of timeless love glazed in lunar flares. So, this I weave in sage blue sparkles, drowning in glowing beams raining from her rose gold halo wings. Will these inked words ever be enough to express how I am addicted to comets swirling within your cinnamon eyes, amidst the veiled grey skies of fogs between our stars, heat of the crying crescent never dimmed the light within my hyacinth heart, that’s slowly rising in sync, rhyming within spheres, lost in white topaz tunes and rhythms, forevermore.

So, this I weave in sage blue sparkles, drowning in glowing beams raining from her rose gold halo wings. Will these inked words ever 7 be enough to express how 5 I am addicted, 7 to comets swirling within~ 5 your cinnamon eyes, 7 amidst the veiled grey skies of 5 fogs between our stars, 7 heat of the crying crescent 5 never dimmed the light 7 within my hyacinth heart, 5 that’s slowly rising~ 7 in sync, rhyming within spheres, 5 lost in white topaz 7 tunes and rhythms, forevermore.

Lovely written dear Ink. I think this best describes the moon. An artist! Imagine what she sees and how many canvases she must have filled looking down and having a lot to paint. I always love your metaphors and your poems. I'm not sure how I was able to survive without reading them. Maybe your thoughts. "So, this I weave in sage blue sparkles, drowning in glowing beams raining from her rose gold halo wings." Again! I always love to put visuals in my head when reading your works. Breathtaking

In the vast panorama of the sky, the moon stands as an object of serene beauty, as an artist with a grand canvas. She weaves spells of enchantment, waxing and waning above silver kissed seas, sprinkling cosmic dust. Every word in this poem spells swirls of beauty and magic. Your inked words show you are addicted to her mesmerizing charm. I have been making an excursion to your older poems and found this beautifully descriptive gem on moon's inescapable aesthetic and picturesque appeal. I feel you have every right to bag a trophy. Hearty Congratulations, sweet friend.

Dearest Empress, What a wonderful delight with beautifully inked words. I felt there was such amazing rich imagery, emotional depth, and a harmonious structure. I think that you have created a captivating and evocative piece. So, let me count the ways that I loved this poem. It starts with the striking imagery, such as "silver-kissed seas," "cosmic dust," and "rose gold halo wings," that leaves me in a dreamlike atmosphere. I loved the metaphor with the moon as an artist. I am like you because I believe the moon has a role in shaping the beauty of the natural world. Empress you have beautifully intertwined themes of love and nature that create a romantic and mystical tone. How romantic and soul-filling it is, and it has to be an emotional FAV. – Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Hmmm... And I always thought the moon was a he. Or is it an it? I worry too much ha! I know how the moon fascinates you and plays a prominent role in many of your poems. I guess it was only fair he, er, she returned the favor. Another awesome write by our Maldivian princess

How you manage to find adjectives to combine with nouns, is beyond me. Your poems are always top of the class. I'm sure you will be highly placed. I am not in contests these days. I was sick and spent a fortune on my consultation with a cardiologist. Hugs.

You did this form really well.. I like how you made it sound natural and nothing seems forced when you split the syllables... It weaves together vivid imagery and emotive language, creating a rich picture of celestial and romantic elements. The moon, often a symbol of mystery and beauty, is personified as an artist who not only observes but actively engages with the world below. The use of metaphor and colour evokes a sense of wonder and intimacy, particularly in how it connects the cosmic with the deeply personal.

The moon being an artist is an interesting concept and your descriptions of "her" being active in this way was well expressed, good luck in the contest IE
