Moonbeam Visit

moon cradle swings slow
cloud curtains billow softly
starry night lights blink
amidst black velvet blanket...
as wind croons a lullaby


dreamy dust settles
sparkling against silken strands
as moonbeam peeks through

Sandman plants a sweet dream's kiss--
slumbering beauty breathes deep

A lullaby to dream with Nikko. Not only for babies but I feel the peace and see all the magic you portray. Just lovely!

Congratulations on your win Nikko! I have been counting my Tanka and posted it last night on the moonlight contest and I am so happy to see my name below yours. Yes, I am back in Seattle, but my dream vacation is still lingering in my mind. I enjoyed the local food pati "kambing". The Ilocanos make pulutan out of this. (I am not sure if you are familiar with this food). You might say ykks! Love Dalila Dalila

Simply beautiful, Nikko. I am seeing lots of good entries in this contest. I hope they all make the list and yours swinging at the top! Yes, I still love french fries, Nikko. but I realize potatoes are one of the worst foods a blood type O like me can eat. It's horrible for people with arthritis. I still have them maybe once a month. I don't dare eat more!
