Dear Moon Are You Lost

Between the clouds on a dull storm filled day.
I spied the moon, full view in hues of grey.
Bright crescent stays as peace resumed her sway.
This is not at all right. - To see you in daylight.
I’m seeing you so bright. - You’re clearly in plain sight.
Now that you are here sweet moon, stay a while.
The sun is absent, and you make me smile.
Your most silvery effect does beguile.
Spread your moonbeams today. - Now the sun is away.
In your light trees do sway. -  Raindrops do dance and play.
Dear moon, are you lost, forgotten the way?
Do you wander to find your home in night?
Your presence here is strange, it's not your style.
You may waste all your moonbeams if you stay.

Daisy Meadows Date: 6/26/2023 10:47:00 PM A lovely poem. Well done. Login to Reply Speaks Volumes Date: 6/26/2023 11:11:00 PM Thank you for letting me know you liked it Jeanette. It is so very much appreciated. When I have doubts about my attempts, and a fellow poet comments with a degree of praise, it makes me feel like I am standing on top of the world for a while.

Thank you so much for your lovely words.

Sotto Poet Date: 6/26/2023 8:02:00 PM Oh, VS, what a truly splendid and enthralling piece of poetry you have crafted. Amidst the billowy clouds on a somber day plagued by tempestuous storms, nothing is better than eyes catching sight of the moon, resplendent in its ethereal shades of grey. Login to Reply Speaks Volumes Date: 6/26/2023 8:15:00 PM Suzette made many hoops to jump through with this one SP, I tried to follow her requirements to the letter. I fear to the detriment of a poem that could have been better. Still its all a learning curve. You dont get any balls through the ring, if you dont take a shot. Thanks for your beautiful complimentary words. I breathe more freely after I read your comments.
