Trifextra: Week Fifty-Two
It’s Friday,so time to do something “extra” at Trifecta.This weekend,they have decided to throw us a googly & send many of us back to school ,for a refresher course in English language:-)
Yes,they want us to give them a 33-word example of personification. Wait. What? You forget what that is? It’s the practice of attaching human traits and characteristics with inanimate objects, phenomena and animals (http://literary-devices.com).
Well,here comes my submission-ignore the blush please;-)

A Moonlight Tryst
Velvet night kissed me as I stepped into the garden. Gentle breeze embraced me. Flowers smiled knowingly. Stars winked .Trees beckoned. Leaves whispered.
Then, the Moon beamed, announcing the arrival of my lover.

Softy softy! Not an illicit lover I hope!
LOL!love is never illicit i guess but who knows what’s in their hearts?;-)Thank you for reading & commenting yerpirate:-)
What a great opening! I love descriptions like this, the moonlight gives everything a dreamlike appearance! And the lover, supported by nature itself, like the frightening appearance of the soul mate makes it all more thrilling!
Oh,Sugarhigdd,thank you for this beautiful comment-you made it sound so much more romantic & lovely than I did:-)Was just going off to bed-here its 4.30 a.m-almost dawn,lol!
Loved the use of personification! The entire night became her lover. Sweet 😀
Thank you Dawn,loved how you interpreted it:-)GN from me -its almost dawn here-no pun intended,lol!
I thought that the velvet night was quite lucky to be kissing you and then, I discover that this was only the warm-up because your lover was now arriving. Lovely, romantic, sensual poem. Thanks for sharing.
Aww,thank you so much.Glad you liked it Tom:-)I was not sure -thought it may seem too mushy-am still finding my feet,lol!
whew! my night just became a bit more toasty . . . which is hard to do as icicles nip my fingers tonight. 🙂 nicely done.
Ha!ha!Glad to have been able to add a lil warmth to your cold night there:-)Here,the wind still hasn’t lost its nip,for which am glad-Indian summers are hot & nothing to look forward to except maybe the mangoes.Thank you for liking this
You’ve got lots of personification here, and it all comes together for a lovely scene. Beautiful!
Thank you Janna:-)
Awww.. and more awwww.. Just the kind of stuff I love to read.. 🙂 What a welcome the lover got.. Phew!
Ha!ha!Glad u liked it Muzer-I was so afraid I had overdone it or something:-)
It works great as is..:-)

All this personification really set the mood (:
Thank you Draug:-)
That was really well done…Diane
Thank you Diane:-)How have you been?This week has been so hectic-I think I am forgetting to breathe,lol!Did you post this weekend?
I’m good thanks…Yes I posted a few in the past few days…but they weren’t all long ones…Hope that things settle down a bit for you this week….When one is younger it almost always means ‘busy’…Diane
Oh good-will chk them out tomorrow:-)Young-ah to be that again,lol!
I guess young is perceived as we get older ….as those quite a bit younger than we are lol…Diane

Lovely. I want to go to there 😉
Oh,me too!Thank you Kristin for liking it:-)
ohhh. I love this!
Thank you Deana:-)
Okay, I’m a ducker for a full moon. This was charming.
*sucker
:-)I got that-I am a “typo” mistress cos I make them by the dozen -typing with one finger,lol!And recently I have been feeling like a dyslexic!!
Yes,moon surely has its own magic-I was born on a Full Moon night-so I am loonier than many too,lol!Thank you Gina for visiting & your appreciation:-)
Ooh, this is wonderful! Love your opening line – and pretty much everything else that follows! Great job!
Thank you so much for your appreciation Suzanne-am glad you liked it:-)
Breathtakingly Beautiful!! 😀
:-)Thk you Linda
Lovely set up for the twist at the end. Very nice!
;-)Thank you Steph
Well done! I like how each element was personified and how it all came together into a beautiful ending.
Oh,that’s such a beautiful thing to say Wisper,thank you so much:-)I appreciate your stopping by to read & comment:-)
Love the moon beaming!
:-)Thank you-yes,it was glad to see the two lovers;-)
Awww. That’s sweet! What’s funny is that you used the word “refresher” in your intro. I wrote the post when I was dog tired, and I could not, for the life of me, come up with the word I wanted. I kept thinking “rehash,” “revisit,” . . . REFRESHER. Thank you!
Thank you,your response made me grin:-)Its 2 a.m here & I know that feeling(mind you,I am not even working at a job & still I get tired,lol!)-in fact all this is erasing my memory-this being up till dawn-now,i will have to go check what i wrote in the intro,ha!ha!Oh,I definitely know about not getting that “word”-I am like hey it starts with “r” -& go traipsing along all the shops show-casing these string of words & just not find what I want & then in the middle of something it will return to me with a bang!My hubby & daughter tease me no end about this lapses but what can I do?Glad you found the word in my post though & apologies for rambling on:-)
Awwww! Such romance!
:-])
The moon beamed… Perfect!
Thank you Ted:-)
Oh so romantic!! I wish I was there! lol well… not with this particular couple… but there with my own lover! haha
LOL!I know-& I wish reality was this beautiful;-)
Lovely piece and great multiple use of personification.
