      Thank you, Nicolette. I hope you don't mind that I borrowed your contest description word for word? I couldn't see how to say it any better.

    Can I seriously do the moon and the ocean and starlight in FV?!?!?!?
    Of course if you really meant FV it would be rhymed and in meter because that is me at my free-est. but I'll give it a go before sleep.

      I'm looking forward to seeing your verse - rhymed and in meter or not. Whatever makes you feel free...
