In the Moonlight, Shadow's Dancing


Haiku

'Neath beams of moonlight
Shadows dance each step in hold
Blending images.


Tanka

Bathed in forever
The moonlight dances once more
Unfolding love's dreams
In the embracing steps, edged
By shadows of memory.


Quintain, English

'Neath the glow of the moon
Dreams have been held, forever in dance,
Embraced in thought, when eyes of June
Shall see memories made, perchance
To be captured in night of shadow's romance.


Cinquain

'Neath moon
Shadow's dancing
Embracing of dreams held
Capturing memories cast off,
In glow


In the Moonlight, Shadow's Dancing....Sonnet

Walking on balcony of heaven's view
Bathed in forever all thoughts of love true.
Images blending in dreams to unfold
Embraced between boundaries, casting it's hold.

In the moonlight, shadow's dancing, once more
Retracing steps, as they glide 'cross the floor.
Each memory cherished, edged in delight
Each step in hold, the moons cast off's of night.

Circling the spheres, in the ocean of space
The night's for living 'neath beams that embrace.
Dreams in suspension, 'til light fades it's stay
Elusive, moon's shadows, fall back come the day.

Idling minds, will dream presence of two
Dance of  the shadows,  in moonlight of you.

Some great late night wide awake poetry here Wynter....love all the styles and I hope you do end up dancing in the moonlight with a new love...this is all very beautiful!

The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.

Wynter - you are very talented, not only with the way you write words, but with you're diversity. And, open up those eyes, it's morning.

Sorry you had trouble sleeping, Wynter, but you did do beautifully with this, and I'm impressed. I'm going to save this, and may give it a shot myself. Now get some rest!

What a great excerise! I believe the Tanka and the Sonnet are my favorites. Bravo on your 5 examples of different forms over the same subject. Really enjoyed the read!

WynterLady~

What a treasured treat
Shadowed lines of moonlight dance
Across night pages


Such quality of your thoughts leaves me hoping
that you have many more moments of inspiring insomnia !

Kathleen
thank you I tried that goodnight...it didn't work so well..yet

AT
thank you...I just write, what comes out I never know. *w

Kethry
thank you, I enjoyed writing them and I had to do something with my time...what better way at that time of morning then to write..

Bill
Morning you say? Every day and night are the same to me right now...my body clock isn't timed correctly

Marilyn
thank you, sometimes on other sites a challenge will be to take the same poem and create more then one form from it...the easiest way is to do the Sonnet first and work from there.

g
I guess Sven in a posting said the Moonlight Shadow Dancing was an old challenge but I saw everyone responding and thought I would use the theme..the 5 poems were just something to do to challenge myself as I saw Professor Gloom had completed 5 thanks

Poeminister
THANK YOU

SEA
you already write so well...I enjoy everything you post... a cinquain is made up of 5 lines with these syllables each line

4

that is it..very easy to do

VAS
Virginia, I am glad you enjoyed them, thank you for reading

Amy
I love the Sonnets too, they are my favorite to write. thank you

Marge
oh my...insomnia is my middle name at the moment even though I am trying to get more sleep three hours at a clip is all I am getting...*s thank you, sometimes I wonder where the words come from...especially the next day when I reread what I posted.
