A Crescent Moon Smiles This Day

. There like the bloom of a mystical flower, a crescent moon smiles this day Before the sun comes to offer good morning, bright its illumined display While here I stand gazing north towards the heavens, dreaming of days yet to be Watching the glow on an autumn horizon, I feel it grinning at me Picturing moments of enchanted splendor, beautiful scenes float my eyes Seeking a sign as the dawn now awakens, upon these slumbering skies When in a whisper this moon sends a message, softly it says from above “Here in this smile my crescent is showing, know she is sending her love” This is the first poem I posted on soup. I am not new to the site but find I learn something new every time I stop in to read. I actually like this poem because the moon is always an inspiration to me. As well, the wonderful poets I have met on this site always inspire me to be better.

Love: Here in this smile my crescent is showing. The moon, from our vantage point, just a small light in the sky, but how it inspires, has regular cutouts, shines bright over lovers and wondrous nights. And I see I’m revisiting but I love it!

A very enjoyable read. I love moon imagery and you've done an excellent job of keeping the reader's interest. The rhyme scheme helps to soften the mood of the poem.

Beautiful, Chris, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Thank you Linda for this wonderful welcome. I appreciate your kindness. My poetic skills? It depends on what inspires me on any given day. Usually my theme will revolve around love but I can get dark and a little crazy at times. I will be happy to stop by and read some of your work. Thanks so much again.
