(One who loves the moon is called "selenophile") Written on 21st July 2023 Contest: Writing challenge - M words Sponsor: Constance La France
Awash in the moonlight She moves lithely, a sight to behold, her hair free, Flowing black like the night, Graceful as she can be, Arms raised, spinning in glee, Till the moon frames her face, Hiding behind a tree, Moonbeams gently embrace her as she's giving chase to soft, dappled shadows, Rays of light, she can trace, 'Neath the Luna, time slows, Hushed, her silhouette glows as she circles back home, Moon-rays seem to enclose, Under the starry dome, She always loves to roam, She is simply struck by selenophile syndrome.
