Notes About The Poem

 

                                           Queen of the day moth of the night.

Queen Of The Day Moth Of The Night

Fluttering tissue paper colourful painted Lady
Belle of the Ball Queen of the day
Shows her colours
In a flirtatious exotic dance  
Entice the flowers
To open and display their open tender hearts
To her will and command
As a brazen harlot who beaks the resistance 
Of a snared inflamed captured man

Such sweet irresistible temptations
Are part of her occupation
By day
Now she has taken
She now flys away
The moth takes over the next shift
During the night
The allured 
By light.

Daniel Henry Rodgers March 28, 2024 at 7:19 AM Hello Pete, you eloquently captured the dual nature of existence, from the allure of the day's queen to the mysterious enchantment of the night's moth. I loved how your imagery evokes a sense of fleeting beauty and the ever-changing roles we play in the grand theater of life. Your words show a mesmerizing portrait of the delicate balance between temptation and surrender, light and darkness. - Blessings, Daniel Peter Dome March 28, 2024 at 8:43 AM Hi Daniel. How are you?.I was really struck by your wonderful poetry. Even you're replies are amazing. I'm so grateful. You are very inspiring. I thought my little poem was going a little too far, it. Wasn't meant to he. A big thank you. Take care. Pete.
