missing my moonlight
the shimmer of emerald eyes
the moon becomes jade

I would have changed the last line....to read....

                 the moon comes jaded....

but don't ask me why...

but I like it, I like it!

Sven~
Only because you ask - "how I can make it better"

missing my moonlight (5)
the shimmer of emerald eyes (8)
the moon becomes jade (5)

miss·ing my moon·light (5)
shim·mer of em·er·ald eyes (7)
the moon be·comes jade (5)


It is a nice Senryu, as opposed to a Haiku.
Or perhaps a 'Svenryu' ...
Nice to see you stretching.

A SVENryu - I luv it  
This is very beautiful and I love the imagery, you should write haikus/senryus/tankas more often!~

Take care,
Melissa~

Maddening when we see that beauty everywhere we go isn't it? This is beautiful.

Charisma, glad that you enjoyed my friend. . .

Sandra, I have this thing about moonlight as well. . . thank you. . .  

Amy, thank you!!  Thank you for reading my friend. . .  

Sunshine, that's an interesting idea. . . thank you. . . I may use that line somewhere else. . .

Poeminister, thank you my friend. . .  

Marge, thanks!!  I guess I missed that one!!  

walker, thank you. . . glad that you enjoyed. . .

Melissa, ok, let's not go naming poetic forms after me ok??  LOL     I do like writing these, kind of fun to try to get so much in so small a space. . .

Temptress, yes, it is maddening. . . especially when the source of that beauty is so far away. . . thank you. . .
