Dear Selene
A Terzanelle For The Vocal "Letters to the Moon" Challenge
This is my first attempt at a Terzanelle, a more complex form of Villanelle that incorporates aspects of Terza Rima.
A terzanelle is a poetic form combining aspects of the villanelle and the terza rima
The music is "Moonsong" by Adrian Von Ziegler

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it β and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

βDear Selene, Beautiful Mood Goddessββthere is something intriguing about calling Selene/the moon a Mood Goddess instead of a Moon Goddess that seems to fit this poem perfectly, considering it delves into your emotions about the moon and the moon is thought to affect peopleβs emotions. Iβve never heard of a terzanelle before, nor do I think I will be trying it any time soon, but you seem to pull it off fairly well.
Oh, this is so beautifully done, Mike <3
I love the flow! Very talented composition.
Yes, it is a letter provocatively written to a heavenly body one knows well.
A love letter to the moon is such a feel good concept. Nicely done
Such a lovely ode ππ« I really enjoyed the devotion and repetition.
