Moon Ode

Moon you serenade me nightly
casting your beaming silvery rays
touching and filling my weary soul
with  awesome magical perfection

Watching you in your various phases
crescent sliver you delight and enchant
yet too your half sends heartfelt shivers  
as you wax your way to full glowing light

moon dear moon you rule my senses
as you wane,  the sea's tides join you
making my moods shift with your cycles
your whims commanding earth herself

I serenade and worship your beauty
disliking intensely nights you are cloaked
when clouds hid you from earthly sight
then with a peek you emerge triumphant

And  now once more my heart rejoices

I wish I had have written this. I agree with Mr. Merrill's comment indeed. I felicitate (congratulate) you on this Win. The excellently conveyed Imagism within this marvelous Poem makes me feel closer to the Moon.

Hi Shadow. Luv this. I'm a big moon guy, and find the night to be terribly romantic, as you'll discover in my writes over time. I enjoyed this very much, and I appreciate the marvelous imagery and flow. Kudos, my friend. xxx Mel
