The author's words are lovely, calming and creative. I found this poem
filled with safety, serenity and stillness. The artwork is beautiful and
compliments these words well. Great Poem - thank you!

    Hello Maria. Thanks so very much. These short ones seem to take me more time than the longer ones. LOL :)

You created a tranquil moonlit night with just six words here Melissa and made the night less fearsome and more welcoming, much enjoyed, the word soft was well used here, love Dolly x

You have chosen six lovely words to describe the mesmerizing sight of
shafts of moonlight filterinng through the trees. Excellent use of personification

Very cool picture you chose to accompany your poem. The one drawback to reviewing a poem with 36 characters is you have to use 150 characters to review it. Good luck in the contest.

    Hello Earl. Thanks so much for your endeavors to use your allotted 150 characters... it is funny sometimes how that works. LOL. Much appreciated!

"moonbeams stroll softly through the night"
Your six words paint such a beautiful picture, "moonbeams strolling", bring peace and calm as we quietly sleep.

Melissa,

Oh, how nice! The personification of these moonbeams means they have gone strolling right before my eyes! But they've never done that before -- wow. That's some strange magic in your pen... I like it!

I think this is one of the most difficult contests to conform to. There is so little room in those six words to present poetic devices. Since most of these devices are aimed at creating imagery, it is certainly acceptable to create that imagery by any means you can. Reviewers should not be influenced by a pretty picture but by the word choice, and you have achieved it it with your chosen six.

This is lovely. It makes me want to take a walk under a full moon, in the woods, with the moonlight peeking through the branches. I'd have to take my dogs with me though, because who knows what's lurking in the dark. Ha!

Good luck in the contest. All the best!
