Full Moon Beguile A sunset colored with crape myrtle pressed like silk on blue at first stayed while I sat down to watch it drain behind the palm tree’s burst I thought no beauty could surpass it and turned to you to speak my view but you looked passed with eyes celestial and dreamy with the moonlight’s hew. I watched it scale a square of building dissected by a telephone pole then climb the open angel’s stairway to rule the sky and light my soul. I knew you thought of how your Gaga loved to lay with you out back when you were just a little fella and explain its dark and glorious trek. For when the moon is at the full I see her climb into your face almost hear her voice like music and feel the warmth of her embrace. The moon at full has all the glory of the smile that touched the child and changed forever all the meaning of the night’s full moon beguile. |

It's just amazing how we never seem to run out of "full moon" stories, isn't it? This one is great, Martie..  |

Martie - While at the cottage way south on the Chesapeake - the one predominant tree/shrub - seemed to be Crape Myrtle- and it was glorious ~S~ It was there too I had the luxury of enjoying the splendor of the mmon as I've been denied too long - this was beautiful - you should rhyme more often |

The moon at full has all the glory of the smile that touched the child and changed forever all the meaning of the night’s full moon beguile. Martie a very beautiful scene This is the hour when the mysteries emerge A strangeness so hard to reflect A moment so moving goes straight to your heart" JOy divison |

Nan--as long as there is a moon, there will be poems written to it. Thank you for reading mine. Bill--something about the name Chesapeake sounds so beautiful, maybe it is the moon and crape myrtle...or could it be the ocean. Thanks for liking this rhymed verse. jwesley--thank you for letting me know about enchantment...what a lovely thing to say. Liz--you are wonderful! catalinamoon--with a name like yours, of course it is. brian--I'm glad you liked my scene...thank you for telling me. That's my deer--always so sweet and full of smiles. Bonnie--I'll keep painting if you keep on saying such nice things. Butterflies--I should have danced, should't I. Marge--I know, I know how you feel about it. Hi Victoria--thanks for your sweet words. Heather--Moon Magic would be a good title for a poem that you write. Janet--So glad to see you sweety...I have sure missed you!! Mark--Next time the moon! Tom--A wonderful thing to say...thank you...I must look for your poetry too. Sudhir--Thanks, my friend for the stunning...love that word! |
