We're supposed to have a full strawberry moon soon. This poem highlights the beauty of a summer moon - leaning in to whisper sweet nothings in the breeze. Lovely imagery.

I am clapping from being happy. This is brilliant. Written the way I was taught it is supposed to be written. Many are good on here, but with capitals and punctuation. TY Blessings, Barbara

The first two lines of this poem flow and connect well. The last line
says it all. I like how this author describes the moon leaning in and
whispers sonnets to the breeze - a lonely image! The artwork is
awesome and compliments these words. Great Poem!

Oh, man. Even the moon can write sonnets and I'm down here tripping all over my iambic pentameter learning disability? (I'm funning with you.)

This is eloquently said. There is poetry in nature, among the stars, on the breeze...

My haiku are not good, but I know good ones when I see them. This one is excellent, conveying a lovely mesage about the moon through personification and metaphor--and a good dose of delightful whimsy.

Your awesome image & words pair perfectly, Melissa.
I enjoyed reading it. Your words painted a great picture.
To me though, this reads as one sentence. I was DQed
in a contest for that reason--even a haiku about the moon.
Also, the use of bewitching isn't something that can be
seen. I may be out on a limb here as all the reviews say
differently. I maybe misunderstood, but will not lower
rating because of it.
Respectfully, Jan

This is lovely, Melissa. That artwork is bewitching in itself. This is almost an ekphrastic haiku. I can feel the presence of that moon as it leans in to whisper. I like the imagination that went into this haiku. You definitely put me in the moment.
