Thank you so much Chris. I think the essence of a Lune is, as you say, the linking of comparison and contrast - you put that so well, much better than I could express. It took me awhile to figure that out! So glad you enjoyed this write. Sending you blessings!

My dearest Rhyme Time friend, it is not often that one finds a kindred spirit - a friend who shares the bounty of their talent and without thought of self inspires a companion on the journey. As you say it is the "magic of inspiration." I call myself blessed to be among your friends and cherish that precious friendship! Sending you blessings in the golden light of friendship!

William, thank you not only for your placement but for creating this delightful new poetry form! I was so honored by your placement among such wonderful, uniquely creative, entries and even more honored by your comparison to Cat Stevens - one of my favorite (gone to quickly) singer-songwriters. Made me think of Moonshadow! Sending you all the blessings of the season. Aloha dear friend!

Dear Rhyme Time friend, even the night can’t dim the brilliance of your gifted pen which gleams in precious tones of golden daybreak. The last lines of each Lune are grand finales to superbly presented imagery of dusk and dawn. Simply splendid! Best wishes for a win and warmest wishes for you, sweet Sam.. ~Susan
