Your words paint a beautiful picture of the setting sun in this lune. The picture illustrates your words nicely. I love the alliteration with the 'L' sounds, which pull the reader into your words. Best wishes in the contest. Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year. Carol

Beautifully presented and captured in your lune poem - this transitional stage between day and night when the scenery seems to take on an eerie and quite magical hue. Well done and good luck, Melissa! Debbie

Always so gorgeous, your work, Melissa. You use simple words but weave them in such a way that they create magic. This one is especially captivating. Good luck with it in the contest. It should easily end up in the winner's circle. Xoxo

Melissa,

Nicely penned Lune poem. You captured that twilight moment we all want to see (and feel!).

Your artwork's colors sync nicely with your verse.

This is actually my favorite time of day when the busyness of day slowly surrenders to the calmness of night. The words and lovely illustration blend well to create a lune. Shoujd do well in the contest.

    Thank you June. I also savor a lovely sunset, the quiet shadows and the purple tones that hide within the nooks and crannies of my garden... even in the wintertime. I hope you are well!!

This is nice and all but doesn't Twilight and Dusk mean the same thing? You end with the beginning and if that is what you intended to do then you have achieved a great contest entry. I love the artwork as it adds a beautiful sunrise or sunset take your pick.

Your Lune captures the atmosphere of the photo perfectly.
I like how you personify twilight as a figure lingering in the shadows. Your image flows smoothly from line to line. Rod
