Connie Marcum Wong Poet Monorhyme

Notes About The Poem

Sun Versus Moon

Sun fades from autumn skies with rainbow light
Then the gloaming will darken skies with night.
Roosting birds return to boughs, a grand sight, 
As twilight shadows captures them in flight
When the pale moon tests our will and our might 
While rising slowly to her lofty height,
Causing lovers to kiss, or foes to fight.
Enchanted moon will soon fade in soft light
As the sunrise again conquers the night.

Lin Lane August 29, 2016 at 6:33 PM I knew I'd see this one high on the list. Congratulations on a lovely nature monorhyme, Connie. Connie Marcum Wong August 29, 2016 at 6:45 PM Oh, thank you Lin. Someone told me they didn't care for it, but I know monorhyme's are not for everyone. Still after they told me that, I had little hope of it making the list, so I am very pleased it is high on the list. I appreciate your support Lin. I loved yours as you know. Cheers, Connie ; )

Andrea Dietrich August 25, 2016 at 7:46 PM Connie, do you remember when I wrote a really long one about the moon and its glory?
