A Full Moon Fool

The full moon aglow at night Reflecting sun as its own light Round and smooth and hovering high Illuminating the midnight sky Bright and shiny with a halo ring Enticing wolves and drunks to sing Traversing around the Mother Earth Causing pregnant women to give birth Moon cast shadows of mystery In which our imaginations see Monsters and spooks and evil goons All dancing under the most full moons A translucent globe in the darkened sky Peeking out like a Cyclops eye Of which we sing a lullaby And Cupid aims his arrow by Full moon, new moon, blue moon, too How I love to gaze on you

I just love my muse, the moon, and any poem about the moon fascinates me to no end...and yours is a perfect example of a very well written moon poem! You inspire me to write another moon poem, though I doubt it will be as good as yours my friend! You have written an exemplary write here Joe, quite the wondrous piece! Great Work!!
