As The Land Danced To The Moon

Eight Words 2 Poetry Contest
Sponsor-Joseph May


As the land danced to the moon
An artist took her hand in his
As he primed LILAC skies of June
His MISTY lover hung on this

The SLUMBER of paint rising fast
As the land danced to the moon
The WEARY artist had a blast
To the landscape's ETCHING he swoon

He paced with her and played her tune
On his canvas a lover springs
As the land danced to the moon
His brushes rock, like GUITAR strings

Though he tried to CAJOLE a tryst
She escaped his picture and croon
With a SIGH his paints drain this twist
As the land danced to the moon
