John Gondolf Poet Rhyme

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.
