Silver Beckoning Moon Whispers

Written: June 4th 2024, For Joseph May Contest

                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Silver beckoning moon 
Shuffle along, unsettling ground
Exposed by truth unclad unbound

Shattered promise-laden blue eyes
Birthed fire with whisper
Silver beckoning moon 

Bare, glittering sheath.
Velvet sky, tormented with anguish 
Shuffle along, unsettling ground

Revealing withheld splendor
While dawn casts shadows
Exposed by truth unclad unbound

Duke Beaufort Date: 6/6/2024 9:30:00 AM SP, I'm seeing each of the first three lines used as the last line for three following stanzas. The first stanza seems to suggest a conversation or feeling between the moon and an individual (of could it be the sky itself? There's a lot to think about here (although he poem itself is short) and I enjoy trying to come up with meaning that fits what you suggest. Thanks!!!! Login to Reply

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 6/5/2024 6:11:00 AM Hello Sotto, I loved that this cast a spell on me from the first haunting words that you inked. I felt transported to that velvet night sky alongside you and enjoying the moments. This will definitely will linger in my mind's eye like that beckoning lunar moon overhead. - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel Login to Reply
