The spell of the moon The forest gloom just creeping up the shadows fear And somewhere far, the owls this night to woo Each gnarled branch a story tells, the wrinkles of the years Acorns fall, orchids tell of love so true Like passing ships, this night the clouds the moon to hide As fireflies dance enchantment is their spell On unseen ripples fairies surf upon the pond In deepest dream, reality can’t tell Lunar fingers, in softest light, their touch you feel Round mushroom rings you saw them in a trance The dark so thick, the dawn far too afraid to steal As bluebells chime the rhythm of their dance With purest touch Oberon kissed Titania’s lips And at first light, the bee, the nectar sips |

Beautiful list of vivid word pictures. The flowing moods through all the images is well done! Eric true love never looks after it's own interests |

Nice. I love moon poems. April is the Grass Moon. I wonder if that is why Celebrate Marijuana Day is in April? |
