Written: June 4th 2024, For Joseph May Contest ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Silver beckoning moon Shuffle along, unsettling ground Exposed by truth unclad unbound Shattered promise-laden blue eyes Birthed fire with whisper Silver beckoning moon Bare, glittering sheath. Velvet sky, tormented with anguish Shuffle along, unsettling ground Revealing withheld splendor While dawn casts shadows Exposed by truth unclad unbound

SP, I'm seeing each of the first three lines used as the last line for three following stanzas. The first stanza seems to suggest a conversation or feeling between the moon and an individual (of could it be the sky itself? There's a lot to think about here (although he poem itself is short) and I enjoy trying to come up with meaning that fits what you suggest. Thanks!!!!

Hello Sotto, I loved that this cast a spell on me from the first haunting words that you inked. I felt transported to that velvet night sky alongside you and enjoying the moments. This will definitely will linger in my mind's eye like that beckoning lunar moon overhead. - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

This was a journey with the nighttime moon that resonates with beauty in surroundings. Again, you have written a poetic gem. Excellent.

Hello Sotto, Just like the sunset. which glows in the water sinking low [looking like it goes into the water. ]So does the full moon. In Canada it feels like summer. Aloha! Darlene/

I enjoyed your wonderful write with a pretty picture. Wish I was on the water watching your full moon. It is great to read a shorter write. "Good Luck" Have a blessed day.......................

Exposed truth! A poem that made me think deep dr sotto. Brilliant rhymes and flow of lines and you’ve woven words in a way that is captivatingly poetic! Velvet sky tormented with anguish! Sometimes i look at the sky and think, how much they would take and feel seeing all that the sky sees from up high. I always love a poem that has moon in them and this is beautiful! Well woven must check the form out i bet you did it correctly! Best wishes for the contest! Pleasure always reading your work
