Hello, my friend,

Lovely entry for the Quiet writing prompt contest. You fulfilled the rules of the contest. Great poetic form and presentation.

I love short poems. Your 5/7/5 is beautiful...great imagery. Syllable count is good. Connection between lines is good too. Well done.

You have met the requirements of the contest- Your poem ends with the word "quiet".

A beautiful picture accompanies your poem.

I can picture tham quietly conversing.

Well done.

This very short poem sets a scene of romance that is easy to visualize. I can SEE the mist enveloping the village and the moon eavesdropping on the lovers. The whole scene has a very QUIET atmosphere. Rod

That's a clever personification of the moon. The lovers thought they could keep their romance "quiet" but the moon's gold dust and eavesdropping reveals their tryst. Best wishes in the contest!

Oh, I do like the ambiance you've created through the first four lines and then introduce that image of the lovers wrapped around each other in the shadows.. :) Great idea and best of luck! ;)
