Red Moon

We have a lunar eclipse To watchers such a boon It crosses the earth’s shadow A fully blushing moon. It rides in total splendour Its beauty meant to draw Attention of onlookers; The heavens stare in awe. Red moon this is the moment That I have waited for My love is here beside me I cannot ask for more! ----------------------------------- Contest: Red Moon Sponsor: Dave Wood Placing: 4th

I love the moon in any "color." And you've captured one so perfectly. Beautiful my dear Paul.

You took me over the (red) moon with this enchanting and romantic poem Paul:)) Every lovely line is simply poetic. Such a delicate blend of captivating content, smooth rhythm and wonderful rhyme. Tender and exquisite! Warmest wishes always my friend!! ~Susan

Thank you for the lovely comments, Susan. Glad this romantic poem took you over the moon:) I suppose every red moon can be that effective! I love rhyme, and would never settle for imperfect/slant rhyme, or eye rhyming words such as soot and boot. ~ Warm regards // paul
