Gershon Wolf Poet Rubai

Soft Glow of Moonlight

I set out to write by brightest daylight
   Looked up when I'd finished -- 'twas night 

Had thought to revel in sunny, blue skies
   ~ Gladly basked in soft glow of moonlight

Juliet Ligon March 2, 2020 at 10:03 AM I've never heard of this form. The day sure gets away quickly sometimes. Beautiful contrast. Gershon Wolf March 2, 2020 at 6:38 PM Thanks for the comment, Juliet… The Rubai is just a modified rhyme, really. Yet it can sparkle like a gem.. Try one! Best wishes, Gershon
