This is a lovely and soothing entry for the three line poetry contest. I suspect it is going to do very well. The photograph you chose to accent the message is spectacular. Best wishes!

Comment from Father Flaps
Hi Melissa,
Constellations do dance across the night sky. I love to watch Orion in February on a moonless night. But when the moon is full, it makes a wonderful target, too. Orion's belt is always nice to look at through the telescope. As for the moon, I enjoy looking at the craters and also the mountains near the edge.
I like the way you describe their movement as a "quiet ballet". But you know, when looking at the moon with a telescope, and having to re-focus every few seconds because of both the moon and the earth constantly moving, you can almost hear it, a groaning echo out there in space.
Good luck with your 5-7-5 entry in the 3 Line Poetry contest! It should be a contender.
Hugs,
Kimbob

A beautiful photograph, Melissa and I love the descriptive opening line of
constellations dance. Truly is an aerial ballet of beauty and you've shown it well in your 3 line poem. Good luck in the contest,
cheers,

Hi Melissa, what a lovely way to explain this beautiful galaxy. Your words are perfect for such an enchanting sky and the gorgeous mountains with snow. I love the idea of a quiet ballet. It is so relaxing. Awesome poem and art for it.

Comment from Debbie Pope
Another one of your pretty, pretty poems. I really like your first line--"constellations dance." You know that I enjoy your creative images, and that one is memorable for me. I also like the juxtaposition of the dancing and the quiet ballet. Soft dancing is sweet and a nice thought.
Well done, my friend. Hope you are doing well.

That's a really good three liner, Melissa. Those short ones are sometimes quite difficult, but you have done a good job with this one. I think you will do well in the contest.

An excellent entry for the 3 Line Poetry Contest. This poem is so lovely. I really enjoyed the personification of the night sky and making the light a dancer on the snow. Quite beautiful. good luck in the contest.

Author,
Your three-line poem gives the image of a sparkling first snow of winter, and a quiet ballet.
Winter is such a harsh season where I come from, but your poem gives a nice image of a wintry wonderland.
Good luck,
Cindy
