Melissa,

This is a very nice presentation for this short syllabled poem contest. You captured in few words that dream scene. She visions her dreams. thanks

In this one, you chose to use lowest case letters for all your words (my preferred style).

    Hello Mark. Thanks so much. The short 2-5-2 format is always a challenge!! I also prefer the lower case for the short ones.. it seems to present differently than those with capitalization. Hugs, my friend!

What a nice thought, being caressed by moonbeams. What more would you need to solicit the most perfect of dreams? The picture works great for this verse as well.

I like this poem because the words are soft and relaxing. It seems that the writer was trying to convey a sense of peace and calmness. It's like this poem is meant to be a 'Brahm's Lullaby' and will put you to sleep if someone else is reading it to you. I wouldn't change anything about it. I like this poem because it's short and sweet and the words are soothing to the ears.

How do you know if moonbeams are caressing if you are comfortably asleep? j.k. This is one of the better ones submitted. Good luck. ....................................

You could not have chosen a more appropriate picture to illustrate your poem. Moonbeams definitely put one in the mood to dream, and those described are affectionate. You manage to create the perfect MOOD with your nine syllables. Rod

A sensuous poem. It portrays the halcyon glow of daydreams. The picture is perfect for the poem. The flow is good. The words are all soft feeling and warm. Very nice. Good luck in the contest.
