Moon Dusted

Entranced as I was By man in the moon, I dreamed my young dreams, Rehearsed my love tunes. Romance reigned supreme. Romantic high In young girl's dream As high as sky Or bright moonbeam. Seductive Dust in eyes Cloaks the lies. Concealed Revealed Fraud Broad Promise Of moon Though believed Unachieved Was deceived Even the moon Changes his tune, Breaking a heart, Seduced from start. Girls, dream if you must, But not with moon dust Covering your eyes. It is no surprise Man in the moon lies. won a third

Wow, Joyce this is a different take on the man in the moon-- I really enjoyed how you did yours with a twist-- being entranced by the moon at first then at the other half revealing how it could lie... congrats on your win! :D
