Notes About The Poem

Moonlight

So slowly dancing
in Time's chilling solitude
bewildering the shadows
in Love's diary-
desolately She stares as
Hope's unwavering beacon

Charlie this is most beautiful. Of course I do favor poems that involve the Moon. But not everyone can capture its beauty the way you have.

Charlie I think you used a lot of creativity here. I have not read many of the Moonlight sedokas yet but of the few I saw, I think yours is one of the very best. Did you mean "at" in line five?

Thank you Andrea. Luna stares at us as a beacon of hope. That's what I was trying to say. Might have come across a bit awkward, but thanks for your constructive question, I do always value all the help I can get.
