holding each other tightly
dreamily we sit
awaiting dawn
softly we stare
up into the silky sky
stars above dancing in our eyes
sleepily we watch
darkness yet not
just lightly lit by moon
sweet silence around
quiet breeze slips by
we are together
alone outside
whispers of sweet lullaby from the crickets
gazing in to each others soul
soon the dawn will be upon us
but for now
all we need is each other
and the moonlight

This is really good. There is alot of emotion in it. I guess thats what sucked me into reading more of it.

Excellent
This is very lovely. I do agree with GenXPsalmist though. If you went to a publisher they would love it too but would get you to much as GenXPsalmist suggested. Excellent work! -
The imagery is good, and the whole thing feels very calm and peaceful. I assume (based on your AC and the border) this is about you and your dog? Anyway, the only big suggestion I have for improvement is that you take out a few redundancys. For example, in stanza four, "We are together" is just restating the obvious. Also, you used sweet twice, maybe try a different adjictive in one of those places? "darkness yet not" ought to have a comma after it, for clarity, because it seems to continue to the next line, but doesn't. Also, in stanza four, "in to" should be "into."
Anyway, hope you don't mind me just trying to help. Feel free to tell me why I'm wrong, just don't try to tell me I was rude about it. Keep up the good work.

You done a great job on this piece. I loved all of te images that you used in it. My favorite part was
"we are together
alone outside
whispers of sweet lullaby from the crickets
gazing in to each others soul"
Keep up the excellent work!

The imagery is nice...I love the moonlight and sharing it with someone special...Listening to the crickets serenade is a delight...The background is nice and fitting of the piece.
Victoria Lin -
nice poem. Good imagry. I think the best bit is:

sleepily we watch

amazing
this poem illustrates the scene beautifully. I have always love the moonlight. It is so romantic, especially when you are in love! -
This a a beautiful piece and the imagery is amazing. The flow of the piece is perfect. It is easy to read and it is so emotive that it demands to read and re-read. Its time-less. The emotion expressed never dies. I really love these lines :
"stars above dancing in our eyes
sleepily we watch"

Thank you for entering the contest.
I love this part.
darkness yet not
just lightly lit by moon
sweet silence around
quiet breeze slips by
It gives me a beautiful image. Thank you again for entering the contest.
