Joseph May Poet Rhyme

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.

Jennifer Proxenos March 17, 2019 at 11:28 AM 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.

Anisha Dutta March 16, 2019 at 11:02 AM You are right. Full Moon makes lovers lunatic and wolf to howl.

Andrea Dietrich March 15, 2019 at 6:29 PM 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!!

Nette Onclaud March 15, 2019 at 3:49 PM astronomy would agree that the moon has two sides... let's go for the good one, joseph... so amazing!..huggs

Brandy Nicole March 14, 2019 at 1:28 PM 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 Brandy Nicole March 15, 2019 at 12:55 PM :) Better watch out then, when the Moon is full. Joseph May March 14, 2019 at 10:00 PM Thanks Brandy, it's not the dark side that does it, it's when the moon is full..like in a werewolf movie..
