Ah, so serene, this gem -- it creates such a lovely ambiance in only six words, which speaks to the format expertly used. I dare say it should do well indeed, but I'll say it anyway -- good luck in the contest! :)

What a cool use of the title! That's so considerate of the moonbeams to stroll so softly and not wake people up. A very poetic six word poem. Best wishes in the contest!

    Hi Helen... as you know, these short forms are hard! Took me 3 hours to get this one done. I thought I would use the title as extra words and a lead in. :) Thank you sweet friend.

I like the picture...

The words chosen: "moonbeams stroll softly through the night'
give people a feeling of harmony. It also signifies peace...

After years chaos and disasters, we need peace. We need many of those kinds of nights.

    Thank you Chan. I am very happy that you liked this short one... short ones are hard to do, in my opinion. This one took me a while :)

I love the imagery of moonbeams taking a stroll! It actually is quite soothing and comforting, lighting a path in the dark woods. I can picture the little critters trying to stay out of the light, though. Nice entry for the contest.

    Thank you June. I like moonbeams and how they brighten the nighttime. We had a perfect night last night and stayed out at our fire pit for several hours. The moon was perfectly full and shining brightly. Ahhhh!

Your poem made me stop and think...Is the moon moving around the earth or the earth around the moon or both? Anyway, I had to shake my head to get the confusing cobwebs out. A thought provoking poem.

That is lovely artwork. There seems something mysterious about the scene. Great imagery of moonbeams strolling. Excellent alliteration with stroll softly. These short ones are difficult, but you present a lovely picture in words. Good luck in the contest. judi

Moonbeams are kisses in the night, Melissa. :) They see you walk and caress your soul with their warm and tender rays of light. I have never been good at reviewing short words of wisdom, but I like your words. this is a good offering for the 6 Word Poetry Contest. Thank you for sharing.

A very apt scribing and usage of just six words and nicely interpreted 6words written to celebrate the ekphrastically generated poem. Well done Melissa, blessings Roy
