The Moon Pours White Wine

At a table in a garden, on a soft, sweet, summer's night Two friends are sitting talking by the moon's reflected light. On the table in the garden there are glasses but no drink And the friends are sitting talking, but they often stop to think. The topics that they cover seem to range so far and wide And the glasses sit there empty, since they left the drink inside. The night is getting cooler but the friends stay close and warm, The moon just looks down calmly, she has magic to perform. As he leans across to kiss her, and she kisses him as well, The friendship starts to blossom into something more to tell. The tension in the garden needs assistance to decline So the silver crescent of the moon leans down to pour white wine.

Congratulations, Jeff, on having your well-written and romantic poem featured today. It is lovely. I like the "couplet" rhyme scheme. It makes the poem seem simple and cheery, like first kisses. Keep writing. Lovingly, Dane
