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!

FJ Thomas Date: 3/27/2018 6:37:00 PM I love the moon in any "color." And you've captured one so perfectly. Beautiful my dear Paul. Login to Reply Paul Callus Date: 3/29/2018 4:30:00 PM Thank you for reading and commenting so positively, Shadow. Always a welcome visitor:) Regards // paul

Susan Ashley Date: 3/13/2018 4:35:00 PM 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 Login to Reply Paul Callus Date: 3/14/2018 11:07:00 AM 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
