Sotto Poet Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

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

Evelyn Judy Buehler June 7, 2024 at 11:21 PM Sotto, your poem is hauntingly beautiful, and written with elegance and grace and delightful images. :)

Duke Beaufort June 6, 2024 at 9:30 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!!!!

Daniel Henry Rodgers June 5, 2024 at 6:11 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

Ink Empress June 4, 2024 at 10:16 AM Exposed truth! A poem that made me think deep dr sotto. Brilliant rhymes and flow of lines and you’ve woven words in a way that is captivatingly poetic! Velvet sky tormented with anguish! Sometimes i look at the sky and think, how much they would take and feel seeing all that the sky sees from up high. I always love a poem that has moon in them and this is beautiful! Well woven must check the form out i bet you did it correctly! Best wishes for the contest! Pleasure always reading your work
