Recently I read a poem by Richard Lamoureux entitled Sky Train Girl. It inspired me to write the sonnet below. This is my interpretation of his poem and of course asked his permission. It was fun! Thank you Richard for all of your cooperation and your friendship. Peace my friend:)

The moon was looking blank faced at the earth
Then teased her with shy intermittent stares
She confidently wore her sense of worth
And turned away insouciantly aware
As they spun he eyed her more intently
To search the outer beauty she possessed
In silence danced with shadows moving gently
While beams of curiosity assessed
He searched her waters, calculating depth
They sparkled his reflection as he probed
Affronted by the brashness of his quest
She gathered clouds around her like a robe
Disgusted by the moon she turned away
He left her there to welcome in the day

I did try it, read my poem "The Fix" it was inspired by Jai Bankson's poem "Habit". There have been many here over the years who have inspired me.

I love the twist of the moon and the way this poem is expressed. The symbol of the moon is thorough throughout my poems so it's nice to see a different insight in your poetry. I really like it, thank you for sharing. Xx
