A calm silence can be heard
within the still of the night
dreamers dreams are stirred

Hidden under the moonlight
the dreams of the world exist
within the still of the night.

The earth blanketed in mist
underneath moonlit skies
the dreams of the world exist.

Nature hears the sighs
lovers fall in love
underneath moonlit skies.

A silver moon shines above
across the boundaries of space
lovers fall in love.

Here in this quiet place
across the boundaries of space
calm silence can be heard
dreamers dreams are stirred.

(This form is called a terzanelle. I challenge
anyone familiar with the form to try it. It's a rather fun (and aggravating!) form to try. Have fun with it.

Happy New Year to all!!

A lovely dream poem, in a format I do not know. A gentle dreamlike flow of words. Well done. Happy New Year to you.

This is a form I don't think that I would want to tackle!  This seems to be a hard form, and from what I just researched on this form, you seem to have mastered it well.
This is a challenge for sure~~and you seemed to have captured it well.

Terzanelle I thought was cousin to a gazelle

Well done and Happy New Year!

Thank you all.  This is a very challenging form.  LOL...Interloper I don't know if their cousins or not, but there is another form called a Ghazelle.  We can save that one for another day though..
....lmao.....it's a hard form also!!
