Lonna Blodgett Poet Pantoum

Moon of Tides

By such silent power the moon invisibly renders
Posed in its mansion in the sky it surrenders
In the hours of silent light upon the coal dark night
Invisibly shifting ocean tides to soft foamy white

Posed in its mansion in the sky it surrenders
Its force and terrestrial gravity that takes no slumber
Invisibly shifting ocean tides to soft foamy white
Amending the rhythm of winds on waves motion

Its force and terrestrial gravity takes no slumber
In the hours of silent light upon the coal dark night
Amending rhythms of winds on waves motion
By such silent power the moon invisibly renders
