Hello,

I'd like to nominate Mistral's Enchanted Forest for it's gentle style, imagery and rhythms.

Enchanted Forest by Mistral

Mystical trees in silhouette
against a starlit moon;
luminous, the scattered beams -
beguilingly they're strewn.
Casting soft, a speckled glow
on shrubs and gentle stream
where lovers lie, entangled there,
immersed within a dream.

Dappled moonlight's glimmering
reflects in loving eyes,
wispy breeze through lucent trees
bequeaths contented sighs.
Spellbound forest moulding here
this perfect lover’s nest,
where doubts and insecurities
are gently laid to rest.

This is lovely, smooth and lilting. A great nomination. I haven't had the pleasure of reading this before now. The ending is my favorite. Good writing.

my best,

Michelle
