Dark Side of the Moon

The glow of Luna on sultry nights Stirs up romance with desire in flight The rise and fall, celestial pull Dance of tides when moon is full When Luna goes in crescent mode Just a slice of it is glowed The shape we see from earthly view Is an illusion of ethereal brew Luna's power has a dark side It can make Jekyll turn into Hyde And turn man to beast and make him howl As he becomes a werewolf on the prowl. 3-13-19

This a wonderful write Joseph - I loved the flow, the content and how you describe the moon. The last two lines I really enjoyed, the moon is full of romantic notions but can be dark if we listen to folklore! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

You are right. Full Moon makes lovers lunatic and wolf to howl.

I like how you captured the dark side at the end. Yep, some people swear by the power of the moon when it's full!!

Oh my!! Is that so? The dark side of the moon will cause a simple man, to become the beast. Perhaps!! I like this thought. "The rise and fall, celestial pull" The entire poem is dark and magical. :) Brandy
