MORNING PEARL

The queen of the dark,
My silver-cream jewel,
Soon to disappear 
In the morning mist,
Shades the waking world 
With her memory.

This is so vivid, Iryna. The images you create in just five lines are stellar! I'm sure Nette will like it too. G.L. in the contest! Excelsior! ~ Gershon

A beautifully distilled six-line moon poem. The compact free-verse form mirrors the moon’s fleeting presence, while “silver-cream jewel” gives her a tender, luminous physicality. The movement from dark queenship into morning mist is graceful, and the final image—her memory shading the waking world—leaves a soft, lingering afterglow.
