Blood Moon

Appearance like Blood,
                      Your beauty washes over me like a flood.
                                   Truly Mesmerizing,
              Watching you before the sun climbs over the horizon,
                         This occurrence is really surprising.
                          Even tho your emergence is brief,
                          Your display has brought me relief.
                            But time is drawing to a close,
                          with that I must bid you goodbye,
                         Thank you for this speechless show.

Nice poem - but I believe you should have used another word instead of "speechless" in the last line. I could be wrong of course but I wanted to give you a little feedback. Have you ever been to a poetry workshop? I have - and found it valuable. Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Brief beauty endures beyond a glimpse of curious taste Ettie. I love meeting others who invest time and energy in recognizing natural beauty, the marvels of inconspicuous oddities. Your visit to my work made me happy Ettie...J.A.B.
