Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

The Seductive Moon Smiles in Pleasure

Patient is the seductive moon,
Veiled in a black gossamer veil,
Clouds grip the night
Evoking an emotional imagination.
Singing in silence, kindred stars
Light up in an impressionist dance
In the infinite serene heavens.
The stage under its feet,
A reflection of itself.
Untidy, cold, resonant, sonorous sounds
Of the sea and briny air roll inland.
Calm waves silently creep,
Leaving a slight silvery spume
Over the golden-tanned sand,
Then slowly drawing a breath,
Taking it back into its dark,
Moonlit glow, turquoise depth.
The seductive moon smiles
In the pleasure it gives.

Dear Eve, I really like how you pair the soft, quiet celestial stuff, like the veiled moon and silent stars, with the cold, heavy movement of the ocean below. Ending on the moon taking a little quiet satisfaction in the whole scene gives it a nice, subtle finish. Blessings, Daniel
