Silver Bows

Placid water,
smooth surface untouched

reflects the moonlight
in silver bows.

Breezy love songs
weave glazed ribbon.
Luna serenades.

Rhonda, if you can't see something from a link, I explained at my blog how to find a person's old poetry. My old ones are on next to last page of all my poetry, entitled What Set me Off. But it's ok if you can't get to it. I understand. now let me read your poem here.
