Notes About The Poem

For the Bite Size No90 Poetry Contest of Line Gauthier

The Moon and the River

*Line one is from a poem by Sara Teasdale

*The moon is a curving flower of gold.
Blue silk is the river below
which gathers sweet Luna’s petal-face glow
and mirrors it in a soft fold.
Delight is the night as we - passion-souled -
sail forth on the ribbon’s smooth flow!

Before I read yours I went off and tried to do one but I'm not good at it. It ends with breakfast-costs complaints ~ Different strokes I guess but thanks for the inspiration.
