Connie Marcum Wong Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Enchanted Luna

Oh Luna, with enchantment in night sky…
You gaze down from above with silver eye.
I fondly view your phases night by night
Enjoying most when you are filled with light.

To find your bright reflection on the sea
Enthralls emotions deep inside of me. 
Under your spell, you share in love’s sweet bliss,
I wonder who you will compel to kiss.

Let me roam the gardens in your soft light.
Romance me now as clouds obscure your sight.
Yes, every time your sphere is full or new
You cause desire or cause one to be blue.

So Luna do your best, my lover waits…
We’ll leave our love to you, and not the Fates.

© Connie Marcum Wong

(Non-traditional Sonnet)

*Fates: Greek & Roman Mythology The three goddesses, Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos, who control human destiny. 

Written during the full moon March 23rd.

John Watt August 25, 2020 at 6:38 PM Amazing love letter to Luna. I'm going to share it with my full-moon-loving bride next Wednesday as we are watching Luna rise over the Eastern hills. Such a gorgeous sonnet, Connie, going in my faves. Connie Marcum Wong August 26, 2020 at 12:23 AM I am so pleased you like this John. You honor me with Faving it. I am off to sleep. Today was very very busy but tomorrow I should have some time to read some poems. Thank you my friend. Blessings xxoo

Pandita Sietesantos April 21, 2016 at 3:58 PM Connie, this is such a beautiful piece. Like you, I am a Moon lover for she is the Queen of Romance! I love the imagery, rhythm, and flow of this exquisite piece and it deserves a 7! Love, Pandita. Connie Marcum Wong April 23, 2016 at 8:14 PM Thank you very much Pandita. The soft light, the mystery that romances the soul urges. You are right, I do have such fondness for the moon, especially here where the skies are clear. Love, Conniexx

Daver Austin April 12, 2016 at 10:00 AM Somehow I missed this beauty and the many charms of the moon. Now I know who the fates were. Love, daver Connie Marcum Wong April 12, 2016 at 2:43 PM I have a likeness of them hanging on my wall. I am sure you have seen them Daver, you just may have not noticed who they were. Thank you. Earth as we know it could not exist without our moon. Love, Connie ; )

Ovidiu Bocsa April 8, 2016 at 9:35 AM Enchanting poem round both form and content.Congrat. Amassing rhymes deep as sea and me...contrasting like night and light , pleasant like sweet bliss and kiss, turned to hope like a long waiting for/longing (In my language, the word for aspiration and nostalgia: dor) and beyond the fate. Connie Marcum Wong April 12, 2016 at 2:51 PM How nice Ovidiu. Thank you so much. ; )

Vera Duggan April 3, 2016 at 2:06 AM Hi Connie, ah! the full moon, we watched it a couple of weeks ago and it was such a beautiful sight and your little sonnet has done it justice, thank you for sharing this beautiful piece with us and take care.....Vera Connie Marcum Wong April 12, 2016 at 2:49 PM It is nice to hear from you Vera. Thank you very much. ; )

Mike Bayles March 31, 2016 at 1:15 PM This is a beautiful poem. I enjoyed it. Mie Connie Marcum Wong April 12, 2016 at 2:47 PM Thank you very much Mike. ; )

Timothy Hicks March 28, 2016 at 8:32 PM "Yes, every time your sphere is full or new You cause desire or cause one to be blue" .... She sure has enthralled people over the ages, with her mystery and her longing. A mesmerizing sonnet, Connie. I've noticed most of the sonnets I've read on the Soup follow the AABB rhyme scheme (I've always thought of them as ABAB) ... I guess it doesn't super matter since there's so many varieties of sonnet rhyme schemes. I've always liked the Cornish one. Connie Marcum Wong March 29, 2016 at 12:57 AM I agree Timothy, that is why I stated below my poem that it is a non-traditional Sonnet. I have written a few varieties, but many I have seen on PS have been non-traditional ones. Thank you for your nice comments, ; )

Mark Peterson March 27, 2016 at 11:49 AM Thanks so much for inviting us along on this wistful journey. So gentle and entreating. I loved it. Connie Marcum Wong March 29, 2016 at 1:00 AM Thank you very much Mark. It is not one of my best, but I just felt like writing a moon poem while the moon was full. ; )

Andrea Dietrich March 25, 2016 at 8:16 PM ahh, I see you were inspired to write by the light of Luna's fullness. WEll done, Connie!! the couplet ended it so cute. Connie Marcum Wong March 29, 2016 at 1:03 AM I was Andrea. It is more of a couplet than a Sonnet which is why I have mentioned it is a non-traditional Sonnet. Glad you enjoyed it. I know is is not one of my better poems but I just felt like writing about the moon. ; )

Connie Marcum Wong March 25, 2016 at 3:06 PM Thank you very much Vie. One can't help but feel romantic while looking at a full moon. You and your family have a Happy Easter too. Hugs, Connie ; )

Constance La France March 25, 2016 at 11:00 AM Connie, so magical and dreamy, a glorious write, 7 ~

Tim Smith March 25, 2016 at 8:57 AM Quite lovely Connie. Enchanting final couplet and I adore the picture. Connie Marcum Wong March 29, 2016 at 1:06 AM Thank you Tim. I know this poem is not one of my better poems, but I just felt like writing a moon poem. I am blaming Luna. Lol. ; )

Daniel Turner March 25, 2016 at 7:54 AM Couple of Pina coladas and you'd be set! Beautiful poem Connie. The moon is so romantic, with the right person. Peace my friend, Aloha:)

Lin Lane March 25, 2016 at 7:04 AM Lovely poem, Connie, and now the moon is full so I appreciate it even more.
