Carrie Richards Poet Tritina

Blood Red Moon

In moonlight, where all lovers kiss
Beware the spell that charms a fool
For crimson red will vex the eyes

A capricious stain will startle eyes
A trick to tempt crossed lover's kiss 
Bewitching every star-struck fool

If you choose to be the fool
Beguiled by moon, who winks an eye
Be wary of the moonlight kiss

A kiss will fool a blind man's eye, when stars conspire with the moon

Carolyn Devonshire May 10, 2014 at 1:37 PM Dear Carrie, Always written like a pro! There is a line from "Romeo and Juliet" where Juliet tells Romeo not to compare their love to the "inconstant moon." Romance 'neath the moon does not always remain when "stars conspire with the moon." Excellent work! Congratulations, Carolyn
