Blood Moon

I see a golden moon ascend As a host of stars twinke sweet replies And our hearts can no longer pretend As the soft glow in her eyes Enhance the romantic surprise And when the silver moon does shine I know that she'll be mine And all the stars will cheer When I whisper sweet nothings in her ear But like a wounded rosebud The moon has turned to blood And love slips into discontent As the stars remain stunned, silent My heart bleeds for my lost love As the heavens show wonders from above

Dear Joseph, We had a similar take on this "blood moon." I watched the entire eclipse and must say I felt the pain of lost love when it finally did turn red. Enjoyed your poem very much. Congratulations, carolyn

The sky is such a source of wonders, and poetry is a mighty spokesman. How can one fail to yield somewhat to sorrows of a moon turned to blood. Lost love...but then the eclipse ends, and pale moonlight seeks new love. I enjoyed this very much.
