Firstly, this is a poem that seems ekphrastic. The words and artwork match perfectly. It is good personification.
Secondly, congrats for placing third in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

    You're welcome. I thought ekprastic meant you wrote the poem because the artwork inspired you. not because you thought the art fit the words.

Melissa,

Great imagery in your six words. Paired with your picture I can imagine the moonbeams stroll evident as it moves down the path through the trees. Excellent!

Melissa,

I like the idea of strolling in the moonlight on a warm Spring evening. Your selected illustration is a terrific match for your six word contest entry. But, I do get an eerie feeling from it (-;
