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!!
