Beautiful Moon Comments

This is very soft and lovely, the tenderness of the moon the light and the night all come to us through these words.10 for this

Good taste and well expressed.

Good train of thought, well articulated and nicely penned.

You know the astronomical explanation for why the moon shines at night, but that does not stop you from wondering about it. This wonderment belongs to all eras. Your poem tells me that you want to understand the secrets of the moon from its own light. To someone who thinks like a poet, an explanation is no better than simply drinking in the moonlight with your eyes. I like the childlike innocence of lines like this: /Wonder why the moon shines only at night/ Making for a beautiful sight/ Wish I could touch the moon. // It is important to begin somewhere, as you've done in this poem. This belongs to Moon Appreciation 101. Later when your language soaks up more moonlight, you will write a different poem about the moon.
