Notes About The Poem

Gigantic Moon

Calm, tropical moon was huge, filling the night skies with sheen;
And seemed to touch green treetops, and wild, songbird scenes.
The moon grazed mountains and jade hills, when I lay dreaming,
In the warm fragrance of midnight, with dim, starlight streaming.

Full moon was in Daylily Meadow, with a dark, mysterious breeze,
And its loveliness nearly touched the ground, in the hours of ease.
All the obsidian night was aglow, with the nebulous, magical light,
For even when none are observing, nature offers charming sights.

So picturesque, Evelyn, especially 'in the warm fragrance of midnight' and 'its loveliness nearly touched the ground' - just as inspiring as the full moon in her glory, hope it does well in the contest for you~
