This weekend, the Trifecta team’s Trifextra challenge asks us to write only 33 words which they can share with their children in the bedtime story routine. No scary, nightmare-inducing tales allowed!
I’ll share a slice of my family life with you. I have a much younger brother (who has just graduated from university) who loved the moon when he was a scrumptious little boy. This is the second time I have written a creative piece inspired by him – take a look over here to see what I wrote!
Anyway, I have turned a bit soft and gooey again this week – my muse seems to have unleashed my soft underbelly. Make the most of it, before normal service is resumed 🙂
Why not visit here to read all the other brilliant offerings?! Or, take part yourself….
*****
– The Night Sky Lullaby –
Our friend Mr Moon shines so brightly tonight
He bathes your bed in sweetest, soft light
He smiles gently upon you, the whole night long
As Mr Nightingale sings you his lullaby song.
Freya Writes... 
I find sweet and positive more difficult to write than dark, and it is worth the effort.
So do I, to be honest, but yes, it is worth the effort 🙂
This is sweet…and I love that your little brother was the inspiration for it!
I’m glad you enjoyed it – he’s now well over 6 feet tall and 23 years old….
Sweet! I’d sleep well if I was sung this lullaby.
Good!
I may be a hardened old snark bucket, but I love this sort of thing!
And I wish I had an award to give to you for that glorious phrase ‘hardened old snark bucket’! Thank you 🙂
Just beautiful.
Thank you so much 🙂
I like this. It’s sort of soothing in a lullaby kind of way.
Thank you so much. That’s what I had hoped for 🙂
Very sweet! I’ve always loved stories involving the moon. This one is quite well done, Freya. 🙂

Thank you! Yes, the moon is a favourite of mine too 🙂
The moon is awesome for inspiration and awesome in general. Great piece!
Thank you, Draug! And for me, the moon is a woman, not a man. But that’s just me 🙂
So beautiful and serene. Thank you for linking up!
Thank you for reading my offering – one of so many! 🙂
