MOON

 
             Opaque opal- like white Moon
             showing pallid face at noon.  
            Nascent crescent descent Moon 
             peeps at dusk reflecting reveries.
           Maroon Half-Moon rises 
               arousing ripples of romance
            Clouds at platoon trying
              to put astral veil of mist.
           Giant gorgeous gibbous Moon glazes 
             to enrapture night.
   
         Abloom Full Moon in spoon full charm
             makes lovers frantic lunatic.
         Soon smiling couple is hypnotized 
         in gaudy glare and about to swoon. 
         Ensnared in eclipse Full Moon 
       slips through shadow of Earth
       leaving behind sullen silhouette
          sunken in starry sky
      Blue Blood Moon in scarlet glow
        winks in frolic flare to mesmerize.
