Notes About The Poem

Moonlight On the Rose

a vase on the windowsill
and I'm gazing at the moon
whose radiant pearly beams
dazzle rose petals

fragrance awakes my senses
midway from sunset to dawn
and the moon's my only friend
in glittering night 

I am loving the nightlife
in my room of the full moon
sleepless but for these moments
of quiet beauty

I do love a full moon Evelyn. There is something so special about it, aside from its lighting the night - you've captured it. The jazz is perfect:) Linda
