    Great job on this form. Awesome imagery and word choices :)

    Grace us with your charm
    Place us in your keep
    Space is vast and endless
    Face your slumber deep

    I love the feelings reading this stanza left me with. Peaceful and warm :)

    A star won't last forever
    Pray and wish you might
    Day will come once again
    May he be chased by night

    Loved your ending I picture the moon chasing the sun :)
    Excellent!
    Love

    Rachel,
    You never fail when writing your poetry. It always tend to touch the soul of the reader. You have done an excellent job with this form and I envy your ability.

    A star won't last forever
    Pray and wish you might
    Day will come once again
    May he be chased by night

    ^ I can't recall how many times I have wished upon a star for something. Thank God that he knows what I need and that I didn't always get the wishes prayed for.

    You create such amazing imagery with this second part ... for some strange reason a nursery rhyme came to mind while reading this part ... (and the cow jumped over the moon) ... yes strange I know but it sparked that inside my mind for some unknown reason.... lol

    You have done an excellent job with this form and it was indeed a pleasure to read.

    Great job on the Lento form! Nice imagery and rhyming. I've read this several times and can take it several ways...guess that's why it's a metaphor! lol....Nicely done!
