Edward Ibeh Poet Triolet

Notes About The Poem

A Waxing Crescent

A waxing crescent flashes a glinting smile at me
                       Through the fountain, after sunset
       Pleased to see me; I surmise it wants my wish granted
            A waxing crescent flashes a glinting smile at me
     Happy moon, fleetingly disfigured by the coin I tossed in
   It's smile steadies again when the ripples fade into stillness
            A waxing crescent flashes a glinting smile at me
                        Through the fountain, after sunset
