The Moon Knows

The moon never chases stars of lilies that glow in sparkling gold, she knows her worth~ is more than waltzing jewels carrying crooning lies.

Hi Inky! Every line shines with fresh, colorful and original imagery - "lilies that glow." I love your opening - "the moon never chases stars!" What original perceptive wisdom! That one I want to ponder!! You have an awesome ability to observe the world and put it into memorable poetic lines. What a gift you are! Many thanks for sharing your gift! Blessings of health and happiness to you! I so admire your poems. They are a source of inspiration and joy for me dear friend.

The moon gets here light directly from the Sun. She's no dummy. She doesn't fall for fleeting promise. She has seen enough dreamers to know the genuine article. ~She knows her worth

interesting form, though the name reminds me of an italian bread lol i think these kind of forms suit your writing..beautiful in its brevity..thanks for your comment on my latest poem, it's always a joy to read your in depth commentary :)

This is not an example for your contest, so I can see why you wrote seven lines.. this form can go on and on just like the mathematic nature of it, Pincus originally posted it as a 6 line poem, but followers and other poets decided to write longer ones.. A lot of people do stop at 8 lines with 21 syllables, it would be 44 after that and that is a very long sentence and not so poetic in so many ways.. I see you have a contest on this form and look forward to reading them.. all the best..

My last fibonacci on insta was more than 44 syllables. Was ok but yes hard to design and also presentation is a bit off. Thank you for the comment too, about this not being an example. Always grateful for your support

Hi Ink... I wanted to send you soup mail, but you don't seem to accept them. I think you need to add your 8th line to your post. I'm sure it'll be wonderful.

Lin Lane
Date: 1/15/2024 10:46:00 AM

I will definitely write for another of your contests, and I agree with Silent One that more than 21 syllables would detract from any poetic merit.

Ink Empress
Date: 1/15/2024 10:41:00 AM

Ah its ok you can always comment too, yes few do say that they cant soup mail me. Thank you for the sincere comment i appreciate you reaching out. I just copied and pasted rules from soup rules so it finished at 8th line and rules say “ not more than 8 lines because its a hassle counting syllables when too long in fibonacci. Looking forward to see you write too. Thank you again.

Lin Lane
Date: 1/15/2024 10:38:00 AM

I'm aware the form can be of many different lengths. Yes, to your question about the 8th line because you showed it to an 8th line in your contest description. About not being able to soup mail you... there is no envelope symbol next to your name or I would've messaged you privately.

Ink Empress
Date: 1/15/2024 10:31:00 AM

Dear Lin lane, yes i am not sure why you cant soupmail me. However, I wanted to stick to just seven lines in this fibonacci, i usually tend to go upto 9 lines or more. Fibonaccis can be 7 lines too. Usually it is 6 lines or less. However as you might have noticed i tend to ramble in poems. Im however a little curious about why you mentioned i should include an 8th line? Is it because of my contest rules? Thank you so much for reading.

Oh my, our favourite moon shining so beautifully in the miridical ambience of your poem, gorgeous Ink! I absolutely love this Fibonacci as your words paint a magical scene where moon reigns the realms of cosmos and doesn't chase those stars of lilies.. Ahh, wait! 'Stars of lilies' gosh, I loveeeee it!!! Our dearest Moon knows her worth and she is above all those glamorous jewels that sing of lies, so true! This poem conveys so much metaphorical depth and personification of elements too, soo good

I am truly amazed by the profound beauty of this poem, dear Ink. The last line carries an incredible strength that resonates deeply within me. It serves as a powerful reminder that we should embrace our values and worth. This piece is not only breathtaking but also incredibly inspiring. I Loved the last 2 lines, "in sparkling gold, she knows her worth~ is more than waltzing jewels carrying crooning lies." Blessings

What a most beautiful comment, i was thinking of some who love flaunting materialistic things, to fill their emptiness, sad are those that do that. A person that knows their worth wont chase temporary glitters that mean nothing deep, thank you so very much truly for your kind feedback im grateful
