Notes About The Poem

This was originally written on April this year when we experienced a hybrid solar eclipse, made me think, moon too envies the sun sometimes...and I was going through some emotions as I penned this.. I never got to upload this anywhere, so I thought of posting this for Sotto Poets contest, any poem any theme.

Envied by the Moon

I am spellbound and perfectly misplaced
in frozen arms of a broken spring
where garnet gaze of sage wood sun
is envied by the pale moon
convincing rose quartz stars
that changes arise
whilst lilac lines 
sail across
silken
lace
of
pearly
reflections
from lunar beams
descending swiftly
As eclipsed metaphors
draw darkness across grey dawns
draped in specks of daffodil dreams
for an earth soaked in aquamarine 
Yet, jealousy sneaks in and chains blind hearts

Belated congrats dear Inky. As usual you are timeless and brilliant! I am out of town and as I travel Internet was spotty at best.

"spellbound and perfectly misplaced." I love this thought, because I think it's such a magical way to describe the position of the moon during this phase. You truly are an artist with your words. Congratulations Ink Empress, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Although St. Fransis talked about brother sun and sister moon, he didn't seem to take sibling rivalry into consideration. Congratulations on your POTD E.I.! Well-penned and message extremely well taken. Robert
