Notes About The Poem

A Dance With the Man In the Moon

Last night, while I drifted in curious slumber
Awakened from sleep by the man in the moon
Who peeked in my window and filtered the room
With twinkling star lights, in rhythmic numbers

The heavens were alive with musical rumbles
The clouds gathered round to melodious tunes
Last night, while I drifted in curious slumber
Awakened from sleep by the man in the moon

Outside on the lawn, trees were dancing the rumba
With the breeze blowing in, curtains curled pirouettes
While two lonely nightingales were singing duets
I was dancing in tune with the man in the moon

oh, boy, this is amazing, CArrie. the imagery alone. I know it would win somethin in MY book. So here I go again probably saying something incorrect. Did he not tell us to call this a rondel instead of free verse? now I gotta go check THOSe rules out again. hahaha. LUv, andrea

love the imagination, the music is delightful a bit on the curious side, but with the sense of this becoming a bedtime story one day. Most enjoyed,..p.d.
