Notes About The Poem

Autumn’s Moonlight Show-DHR

In autumn’s darkening eventide The skyline brings lustre to one's eyes When the sun has slipped away from sight The sky is a picturesque delight. Autumn moon shines in colourful displays Of red, orange, silver or golden rays In moonlight one's negative thoughts blow Forgetting one's sorrows and their woe. Trees grace the admirable Selene In serene, silhouette they are seen As stately they do stand in tableau Against the radiant moonbeam show. In ethereal nightly gloaming Lovers everywhere come roaming Enjoying moon’s celestial rapture Sweet scented with late blooming Aster.

Beautiful moon poem! I used to know a Finnish girl whose name was Selene. It was perfect because she was white like the moon.
