Fanciful August Moon

Moon shines its pale 

Enchanting light 

Upon forest floor 

Where winged creatures 

legendary, pale and sleek 

Spin and flit and dance

To the invisible orchestra; 

Of Blue bells ringing

Hummingbirds humming

Fireflies buzzing

And dandelions singing in tune 

With lilting fairy song as they sing 

Melodies that echo through forest pines 

To the Fairy Queen bathed in the light of

The August moon

Your words here reminded me of Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and Mendelssohn's musical composition with the same title. Everything here is vividly descriptive.

Thank you Robert- I wrote after painting a reproduction of the fairy queen from Shakespeare's midsummer nights dream- the exception was my fairy queen was a bear. pity one can't download ones photo's or I would put it with my poem.

Visions that dance in my head under this August moon. Beautiful, such vivid imagery and fantastical scenery set to imagine the imaginary. I truly can picture this as a painting, and I think that is a sign of a master poet, thanks for sharing!
