Russell Sivey Poet Sonnet

Lure of the Moon

The tingling sound of the moon does lift me
I float towards the heavens where I'm free
I reach to the light that emanates there
Beauty is like none that I can compare

Swirling right near my head are the dark clouds
It looks like this night sky has some dim shrouds
The ground below me is moving away
As I slowly, but surely, upwards sway

I start to breathe the colder air that’s high
The moon is getting bigger as I fly
I see imperfections of the moon’s face
Stars blink messages, I try to keep pace

That grand lure of the moon that’s before me
Brings me higher than I could ever see

Russell Sivey

Robert Pettit January 29, 2014 at 12:57 AM Because it's the earth's only natural satellite, so many pieces of literature have been written about it. This sonnet poem of yours presents itself as a fine example of what a quality sonnet should be. Well done again, Russell.
