This Happy Memory Spotted the moon out the window and couldn't get outside quick enough. I had always loved the moon's glow. I used to think if I just huff it would follow me in a bluff; memories when I was a child. The stars have always in a wild way kind of fascinated me. From that first look I blushed and smiled in a dream I foresaw to see. My first look through a telescope to see the bright moon I'd been hooked. Not as bright as to dull my hope on etching of stars as I looked through drifting clouds I'd overlooked. I use to lay in the cool dew wet grass in the yard, singing through silence. I would spend my evening gazing up twilight sky that drew me to love the night air of spring. The moon always swooned as it balled when it hung in full dress. Its light would bathe the leaves as it lusted making them like fairies in flight. I pretended through fading night, magic blended in the shadows, unicorns gleaned the green meadows. A child's vision of memories wiping away pain as wind flows. There is strength within victories. 1/16/2018 Poetry Contest: The Magic Of Three Sponsored by: Broken Wings This Happy Memory Dizain (10 lines) x 3 = 30 lines(pattern ababbccdcd)

I don't think anyone who hasn't viewed the moon through a home telescope will understand just how fast it moves across the sky. Turn your head for a second and it's gone, eh, Love your poem, evoked a good few happy memories star gazing! Nearly forgot, congratulations on your first place! Mick
