Jan Allison Poet Rictameter

Notes About The Poem

Moonlight

Moonlight
shadows glisten
like sparkling diamonds
on lapping waves which wash over 
our toes as we stroll barefooted along 
the shore of the deserted beach 
how I love evening walks 
with you in the
moonlight

Robert Lindley August 27, 2018 at 6:46 PM Wonderfully done my dear friend. Just such a romantic stroll I took with my (then)fiance my wife of 14 years now, at Boracay Resort, very late at night when the white sand beach was deserted and the moon was so romantically beaming done. A fav my friend.. a gem too..

Connie Marcum Wong August 26, 2018 at 8:47 PM This poem is very lovely Jan! It flows so smoothly with stunning imagery to match the picture. I don't see why it would not do wonderfully in the contest. I have never written one either. I may write one too if my muse comes out of hiding. : )
