Jenna Logan Poet Rhyme

At Cusp of Dawn

Mystical Moon, languidly adrift in pallid glory,
is holding night court, clad in gold silk sarong.
Ruling her astral kingdom, amusing with a story
about a cow and a spoon; singing a lyrical song.

"Wondrous Moon," said I, "lamp unto this night,
may your lustrous path stay vigilant and not stray."
In comply,  I saw strung on high, myriads of bright,
luminous stars, glinting down on a fishing quay.

Moonlight plays on lily pads, afloat on Amon Bay,
shining on croaking bullfrogs, just having fun,
bathing in nocturnal frolic until faint spark of day,
flirting with saucy winks and adding, "Hiya, Sun."

As morning draws nigh; moonlight slowly dims.
Luna will crown Sol at horizon's cusp of dawn. 
Baronial is his warmth, but now my vision swims.
I'm drowning in a whirlpool, trying not to yawn.

Mystical moon will glow tonight with vivid pomp.
Again, donning a corona, flowing in auras of light.
As sunlight lulls,  worn out from his daily romp,
I'll waltz in moonlight, among dazzling stars tonight.
