it’s warm and mellow
she prances and pirouettes
her name is Selene
she has a strawberry glow
and she is captivating
~The moon and I have a secret. She knows the reason why I’m smiling~
— Sanober Khan
she has two faces
and she goes further away
it’s frosty silver
and then she dances again
the next time she’s moon bathing

It’s a Tanka Puente – gorgeous!
Thanks to Colleen for the inspiration to write syllabic poetry.
Chilly Nights
twilight
blissful but bare
all the trees are stark now
clouds move more quickly, pink and cream
gorgeous
inside
warming my tea, while staring out
night sky is upon us
and she is here
dear moon

It’s an American cinquain and a reverse cinquain – very nice!

it’s pristine
the beach is so beautiful
waves are dancing around
there’s so many shells
picking up some
to take home

It’s a Seox – lovely!

it’s rainy and blustery
since it’s winter and chilly
but if we are all inside
it’s really blissful
It’s May, and its beautiful… sometimes still, but since we’re in the south hemisphere it’s pretty cold now!

It’s a Dodoitsu – nice!
