    What I love about this piece is its imagery.

    I love the idea about the moon over the water but also I feel as it goes deeper because of how the moon controls the tide. This is also the image I got from this piece.

    I also imagine waters going back and forth and looking in the distance and seeing the water along the skyline.

    Beautiful hun,

    Its a dark shadow night with the sea waters sparkling by the cold glow of moon...the waves touchin the heights...
    The imaginary is very beautiful! A tanka-Juss five lines,but the picture drawn through,juss touchies the excellence.

    Just one frosty spark -

    ^I like this opening. It sets a cool and night scene for the reader :)

    pure preciousness of the moon
    tumbles down swiftly;

    ^I also like the word "preciousness" you have
    used to describe the moon...for she is precious and a beauty that cannot be touched.

    "tumbles down swiftly"

    ^Interesting to imagine the moon tumbling down into the open arms of the ocean/sea...very nice!

    Overall, I enjoyed this little nature write with such soothing images to take to bed...lovely read!
