Sam Kauffman Poet Terza Rima

Moonlight Garden

Moonlight Garden 

Across the silent garden moonlight creeps
Full moon wears the blush of an amber kiss
Soft Luna’s face a midnight vigil keeps.

Moon lights drip from boughs in feathery bliss,
A gleaming signature in pearly white,
In nocturnes moon and garden reminisce. 

Scents of luminescent ivory light
Splash on night blooming jasmines as they doze
To leave a veil of jewels in starlight

Moonlit rhapsodies nightingales compose,
Lyric enigmas of shadow shimmer
Drawn by moonbeams into moonflower prose.

Crystal clarity on roses glimmers
Lyric silver ribbons weave a plainsong
Moonlight sonata memories linger.

Alabaster angel’s trumpet sweet song
Moon garden lilies chant the evensong.

Andrea Dietrich July 30, 2022 at 4:13 PM One of the best entries I have viewed in this contest. Outstanding imagery, Sam. Sam Kauffman July 30, 2022 at 9:09 PM Andrea, thank you for your wonderful message! I am so encouraged by it especially since I couldn't decide what to write about for the contest! Made several attempts. The moon won! I do love a summer night in a moonlit garden! Sending you moonlit summer nights!
