While this poem is beautifully written to convey the experience of watching a lunar eclipse (which I also love & feel blessed to see) . . . I confess, I might not have been able to guess that, without your author's notes. Thus is the difference between straightforward folks like me & those who think in imagery & analogy like you! *smile* The last line carries the whole poem, for me.

    Well, I was happy to have framed this(though it stumbled in the booth as usual and I don't think I will ever win any of these).

    I know you enjoy the simple poetry, but it is my natural way I guess. I too love these celestial orbs very much. They offer us a wonderful experience.

Well done Anupam, it appears you have aced the Whitney. Nature subject, line and syllable count, all good. Best wishes in the contest. :-) Carolyn

This Whitney does a great job of illuminating the many effects caused by our moon's reflected face upon the nighttime scene.

Hi Anupam :) This is a great entry for the contest. Your syllable count is perfect, you adhere to the theme and I like your rhyme scheme (I particular like the proximate thyme of shadows and meadows!) Really nicely done :) Good luck in the contest, kindest regards as always, Debra :)

Your whitney has a spiritual feeling for me, as you create strong images of the moon casting light and shadow on the earth, while shadows are being cast on the moon. There is something both eerie and beautiful about an eclipse of the moon and you have captured that here.

Thank you for entering and good luck in the contest.

June

Hey Anupam,
I love the evening mood you build with your descriptive wording and delivery, "Silvern moon conceives shadows". Nice feel to those lines. Your well chosen picture and blue background enhance the feel of the night theme as well as the reflective verse. Well done and good luck in the contest...best wishes, Bill

This was a well written poem. The poem flows, and reads well. Good Whitney poem structure. The message about the moon is clear. Nicely written.
