Debbie Guzzi Poet Rispetto

Selene

Oh, Goddess moon, Selene, sister to the sun
raven haired matron of celestial star light,
reign in your chariot's twin dragons be as one.
Rise refreshed reborn from Oceanus's delight.
Gift the heavens with your ever changing sheen.
Wash the seaside fresh and make our bodies gleam. 
For love is always with you, as mankind basks  
in your star filled bounty, your heavenly mask.

Russell Sivey February 25, 2012 at 7:09 PM This write is truly beautiful Debbie! Selene is truly a wonderful character in mythology! I like how you brought up her two dragons that pull her chariot! Many say horses but I believe the greatest myth that's out there uses dragons! I really enjoyed this poem this evening! Great Work!!

Kash Poet February 25, 2012 at 6:37 PM A beautiful Rispetto on the Goddess Moon.Enjoyed it.Best wishes Debi.

Gautami Phookan February 25, 2012 at 1:59 PM This is a good one for nette's contest,and such a beautiful theme she's given. I'm not too sure about my Selene, still in the rough draft stage... and there the word 'cleaves', sure you can help Debbie... think it can be 'crinkled furrows' or 'crimps'. I put it as looked good there, thought it would somehow do for wrinkles, but no... thanks for pointing it out to me...

Jack Horne February 25, 2012 at 12:02 PM I love this beauty, Debs. Many congrats on your wins, my friend : ) And thanks so much for your haiku help - I'm finally getting it, I think...LOL

Robert Pettit February 25, 2012 at 10:08 AM Looks like a nice rispetto poem Debbie. Just one thing: the word in your first line is correctly spelled "goddess". Debbie Guzzi February 25, 2012 at 10:14 AM Thanks Robert!
