October Moon, Sun and Sky

To a Mother of Pearl Moon, brilliant disc at twilight And peeking through satin clouds at dusk Taking the place of setting burnt-orange Sun perfection The giver of life replaced by the finder of love. And peeking through satin clouds at dusk Bright twinkling stars in a velvety sky The giver of life replaced by the finder of love Long black eyelashes blink through a Sea of blue eyes. Bright twinkling stars in a velvety sky Taking the place of setting burnt-orange Sun perfection Long black eyelashes blink through a Sea of blue eyes To a Mother of Pearl Moon, brilliant disc at twilight. 2019 October 30 Poet's Pantoum Cash Prize Poetry Contest Sponsored by: William Kekaula
