Starry Dreams - Or

Bright diamonds twinkle in a velvet sky Glow of Luna glimmers on rippling sea Night brings sweet sounds of nature's lullaby Know that dreams will begin at slumber's plea Light the path of dreams with those stars on high Throw stardust where enchanted forests be Moon will softly glow through window, then gleam Soon you will rise, enchanted by a dream! 6-10-19 Ottava Rima Contest Sponsor: Charles Messina

I see you did yours exactly like he shows in his example. Maybe I will get docked for how I did mine but I just interpreted mine as beginning rhyme being unstressed/stressed on the rhyme because I felt compelled to use iambic pentameter. (see my soupmail message) If I lose, I guess I lose! Yours for sure will win.

You like lingering in a dream. :) It is Magical there, in the stars- the beauty of the night. Anything is Possible. I am drifting along, on that cloud. I like being in the Stars. This is so beautiful and dreamy. ~ Brandy
