Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Moonstruck Misadventures

Under a midnight mystic moon
a melancholic marionette
Strums a magical mandolin

Its monotone melody humming
smothered by a mythical midsummer mist
lost in a molten moment of madness
he mindlessly meanders giving in to momentum

Moonstruck and morose
he sets his many mellow memories in motion
amazed and mystified
and maybe mad
he searches for meaning 
in the matrix of morning

Line, I rightly rebelled in reading this write of yours. A deep, delightfully delicious descriptive detailing of a mystical minstrel’s Mussorgsky moment! Line, to summarize my response, More! xox
