Notes About The Poem

Shadow Hamilton's Monorhyme contest

Kissing the Moon

KISSING THE MOON

Twilight displays striations of multicolored      light.
The shrewd sun and morose moon, begin to          fight.
Amber spreads her net across the horizon of                   night.

Five minutes pass, and appears, a beautiful     sprite,
pirouetting across the burgeoning couple’s                plight,*
fanning out skirts of tourmaline tints, blushing                    spite –

rufescent. Soul reverberates, this explosion of           might,
viewed through a woman’s eyes, so vivaciously                   bright.

The sun blows a kindred kiss, disappears out of          sight,
as the giddy moon bids adieu in black and blue                     flight.
