Notes About The Poem

July 30, 2023
Placed 1st: This or That, Vol 19 Poetry Contest
Sponsor: Edward Ibeh
Title Chosen: Red Moon Rising


 

Red Moon Rising

Red moon rising, a globe ruby, an opulent theme,
A scarlet smile, a sight tranquil, a heavenly dream,
Weaves fabric of passions deep, as desires gleam,
Notions-romantic, undulating joy on stellar stream.

Hues iridescent paint a canvas of chromatic skies
Luring gazes, inflaming fervor of enamored eyes,
Glued to vision, intimate pleas of hearts surmise,
Inscribing crimson, where motifs moonstruck rise.

Embracing red moon, heartbeats rhapsodic tiptoe,
Caressing adoration of emotive eventide aglow,
Where, breezing affection, zephyrs amatory blow,
Whispering sweet-nothings, secrets fervent bestow.

As rhythms of our heart, lyrics of our soul rhyme,
Avowing pledges revered, through the song of time,
Reciting words divine, replaying promises sublime,
Under the red moon, we laud, bliss of love in prime.

Across celestial beauty, as impulses-angelic scroll,
Hypnotizing minds, captivating essence of soul,
A red moon tantalizing, O, sensuously we extol,
Weaving fabric of passions fantasies moonlit cajole.

I'm absolutely in marvel of your pristine wordplay, rhymes, alliteration and marvelous vocabulary.. The concept of 'red moon" Is sufficient enough to enchant anyone's heart and i couldn't stop myself from reading this piece and reaching until the end.. It all flowed so beautifully, with different shades of red and graceful descriptions.. Writes like these just make my soul happy, to the core, such a poetic treat!

One of the most exquisite ones iv read on moon .. and very fitting, as the new moon blesses our night skies again. I love your use of colors too! Passionate with a romantic touch

Your unique words captivate the visual adoration for the moon and the passions and emotions it invokes on the viewer. Your words are iconic in describing Vijay. You are the Word Wizard and with that said your words put us in a trance of the Moons Power. Thanks for the experience and much luck in the contest... Another favorite my friend...
