the moon is high tonight looks like a full moon bright. too bright for that night clouds scuttle in front of it sorta waltzing with the old moon like us kinda we're dancing the two-step of forbidden love doesn’t feel forbidden feels hot and right the old moon delivering moondrops into the wisteria-scented dancing clouds a sensual tango now we give and take painting the night sky with red-hot enthusiasm stars dim their lights for privacy ©January 7, 2012 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

I didn't get to see the moon last night, too many clouds in the way over here - but I didn't need to, not after reading this.  Very lovely, Jerry |

The moon is always lovely at this time of year, full and mysterious, especially when the clouds dance in kind. Well done, JP. |

Jerry, I thought I commented on this one.... but it doesn't appear. I've lost a couple lately... seems to be a lag in my computer. My mind is on an eclectric streak tonight. This is seriously romantic and I especially got lost in this lavender image entwining my senses... tango or waltz. "the old moon delivering moondrops into the wisteria-scented dancing clouds" But my sense of humor kicked in, too, and I thought of the old song, "Love Potion Number 9". I'd take this over India ink anyday!  |

We're on the same wavelength, Klassy Lassy, those lines are my favorite also, leaning more on the Love Potion Number 9." lol. <><> I'm glad you weren't disappointed, tracie66. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Wonderful, dear Jerry! I do know what you speak about, especially after seeing a spectacular almost full moon this early morning (5.15am and it was to be full at 8.30am). It was greatly inspiring and that's what your poem is too. Margherita |

I must agree that the moon was inspiring, and there was no way I was about to let that moment go without jotting down some notes and voilà! the poem. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
