Silver Moon
The hammered silver moon
upon a night sky hung
fairy wings and midnight dreams
of cotton candy spun
imagination wanders
to a land far beyond
and there we'll meet
on distant plains
where pain and strife are none
If I could make you whole again
it would be my greatest pleasure
For within every friend is found
the deepest of all treasures
and even though I know you not
cherished hopes are all I've got
to give to you to hold
till the sun is hung in pure gold

Dear Chrys,
How delightful! *Claps hands and smiles with glee. I love a poem that includes the moon and sun within. What a lovely wish. Your generosity of spirt is to be admired! My favorite lines:
f I could make you whole again
it would be my greatest pleasure
For within every friend is found
the deepest of all treasures
and even though I know you not
cherished hopes are all I've got
to give to you to hold
till the sun is hung in pure gold
I have no suggestions, just appreciation for the work!

I can't touch this.
It feels very much like you have lost these friends. The poem is lovely and gracefully sentimental. If I could find something to correct in it, I wouldn't tell you.

hello
I agree with wes. Anytime something is written with this much heart, any technical imperfections are overcome by the message within...........stan

Thank you I'm sure the poem is not perfect but it does bring out what I wanted to say

Specifically...
... form is how we attempt to create and express the emotional. When this is achieved, what is left is the potency of the poem. When emotional power is achieved the poet is finished. If every word is misspelled and the grammar atrocious, the poem succeeds when the emotional is achieved. There is nothing missing here. The poem succeeds intensely, grammar be damned.
By the way, I didn't find anything that bothered me anyway.

Not to be too silly,
but if you're developing respect for me you may want to see someone about it. A mind is a terrible... you get the picture.
And just for the fun of it and because Jess and I have been discussing it, I would like nothing better than to take the emotional intensity of your poetry and stick it in the middle of my dull precision.
You are an excellent poet (no matter what you may think).

Beautiful Piece
This is a beautiful piece. My favorite part is:
If I could make you whole again
it would be my greatest pleasure
For within every friend is found
the deepest of all treasures
I have someone in my life who has really been through the ringer lately. Such things can change someone. When we care for someone it seems we would do anything to make things ok again to go back to a time when we were all happy. I could feel the emotion and heart you have about this subject just by reading your words. Very well done.

Thank you very much for your kind comments
I'm not very big on Frost but you have quoted one of my favorite lines from the only poem that I do like
