Temptations of the Moon

While softly shining over head at midnight, twinkling down her golden beams of light on those below in attune. Lovers gaze and swoon at mellow moon of yellow gently lighting June. This glowing orb hums her tune, baiting passions tempting with delight while softly shining over head at midnight. July 16, 2020

The moon can certainly croon to lovers, who then swoon... Superb contest entry, John. Three cheers, Gershon

The moon does have that effect. Now a days lovers have to swoon and croon from 6 feet away, kinda takes all the fun out of it. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers, John
