Connie Marcum Wong Poet Rhyme

Goddess Luna -Constanza-

Moon goddess in nocturnal flight,
     When Luna’s rise at midnight breaks
     One’s deepest breath of awe she takes.

Her wings are formed by silky light.
     Silver shards beam through drifting clouds,
     Curtains of light in misty shrouds;

Her hair billows radiant bright.
     Her face a luminescent glow,
     Captive of heaven’s indigo.

She whispers secrets to the night,
     Twinkling stars light years away keep
     Peaceful solitude in our sleep.

In dream state she relates her might.
     Luna keeps vigil over night;
     Genders poets compelled to write.
     
Emotions bared with-in her light;
     Her mood through pen is oft’ displayed
     In violence or love allayed.

A lovely view, her awesome sight.
     Beauty remains beyond compare,
     The gift of love she deigns to share.


Moon goddess in nocturnal flight,
Her wings are formed by silky light.
Her hair billows radiant bright.
She whispers secrets to the night,
In dream state she relates her might.
Emotions bared with-in her light;
A lovely view, her awesome sight.

Mark Peterson January 5, 2014 at 7:35 PM Well, I certainly had to come have a look and was pleased to see it written about the moon. Another point for the night sky team and oh so well done. Surely top spot for you.

Andrea Dietrich December 19, 2013 at 3:59 PM yes, great imagery and I love how you made this so lovely and flowing, connie. The little poem that comes from it at the bottom is such a treat at the end!!

Andrea Dietrich December 19, 2013 at 3:58 PM Connie, I hope you get your computer woes fixed soon, dear. Let me see your CONSTANZA now. I hope everyone realizes they are looking at one done by the CREATOR of this form here!!

Richard Lamoureux December 19, 2013 at 9:22 AM Stunning piece! I really like your form. I agree with Craig, this should be recognized as a new form. I wrote my first one and enjoyed writing it. Merry Christmas.

Dr.Ram Mehta December 19, 2013 at 4:28 AM Reading two Constanza in a single day, I am equipped enough to write one, Connie

Mark Peterson December 19, 2013 at 1:44 AM Interesting that we both wrote Constanza with the moon in prominence. This is lovely, and you definitely imbued it with the ethereal essence it deserves. I especially think the secondary poem is terrific. It bears up so well though standing alone.
