Magic Moon

Magic Moon

 

~The Villianelle Form~

Sweet music play for me a tune
and I'll twirl 'round in gay delight
As we dance 'neath a magic moon

For love songs softly make heart swoon
while twink'ling stars bestow their light
Sweet music play for me a tune

Blossom scents lend love's sweet parfume
and summer's breeze 'tis airy-lite
As we dance 'neath a magic moon

A merry time,this month of June
when life and love, each one shines bright
Sweet music play for me a tune

If I'm dreaming don't wake me soon
leave me drift 'pon sleepy cloud's flight
As we dance 'neath a magic moon

Yes, play, play on, we two shall spoon
romancing love into the night
Sweet music play for me a tune
As we dance 'neath a magic moon

i really like this one. its so... yes, romantic and melodic and all around lovely. the language reminds me of an old english sort of style poem/song. i can just hear it being played at a medivial fair. but it still also reminds me of warm summer nights in this time period. so, anyways, great job. it was lovely.

'Magic Moon'
Fran Marie,
Oh I enjoyed this lovely and heady poem of warmth of heart and romance! It reminded me just a little of the song silvery moon. You know I am encouraged once again to enjoy and try to write poetry more than I do when I read something like this. I found rythm, cadence and a rise and fall of mood within the feelings which are part or your magic moonlight on a June night; the breeze, the company....so nice!
Blessings,
Kathy

Your lovely villanelle provokes such beauty and wisks the reader away to a beautiful time and place. Your writing is so smooth and does not appear forced or too rigid in any way at all. A gorgeous poem that brings such joy to the heart! All the best in the contest.

You make me want to dance, Fran! There's a sweet and romantic tone in this one that brings a smile to my face. :-) Sharon

There is something oddly timeless about your writing that shows your knowledge, ability, and love for the craft.

This so beautifully written. Right down to the font and color. I love the imagery and tone through out. I just wrote my first villanelle and wanted to see how others used the form. I must say this has inspired me to create more. :)

This was gorgeous. o= What powerful description of dancing beneath the moon on a summer night. The way you used punctuation made this seem almost like a song to be played /while/ dancing beneath the moon. Amazing, great job with the villanelle! ^____^
