Moonlight Garden

Moonlight Garden Across the silent garden moonlight creeps Full moon wears the blush of an amber kiss Soft Luna’s face a midnight vigil keeps. Moon lights drip from boughs in feathery bliss, A gleaming signature in pearly white, In nocturnes moon and garden reminisce. Scents of luminescent ivory light Splash on night blooming jasmines as they doze To leave a veil of jewels in starlight Moonlit rhapsodies nightingales compose, Lyric enigmas of shadow shimmer Drawn by moonbeams into moonflower prose. Crystal clarity on roses glimmers Lyric silver ribbons weave a plainsong Moonlight sonata memories linger. Alabaster angel’s trumpet sweet song Moon garden lilies chant the evensong. 7-29-22 Contest: Five Stanza Terza Rima Sponsor: L Milton Hawkins Rhymes checked by www.rhymezone Syllables checked by www.howmanysyllables

Andrea, thank you for your wonderful message! I am so encouraged by it especially since I couldn't decide what to write about for the contest! Made several attempts. The moon won! I do love a summer night in a moonlit garden! Sending you moonlit summer nights!
