Notes About The Poem

Vanilla Moon

Vanilla moon of the billion star, milky night,
Peering over luxuriant treetops, evergreen.
Ivory clouds drift away to blues and bright,
On a spicy, pearl night, like none ever seen.

Daisy moon in onyx, all cream and chiffon,
With what loveliness is darkness enhanced.
Its alabaster rays pour upon a snowy swan-
Joy pranced on a path that sun last danced!

I love the rhymes here and use of colors is so fitting for the theme of the poem. So well written and delivered. I especially loved “ ivory clouds drift away “ “ spicy pearl night” how creative and moving is this profound take on vanilla moon. Your way with writing is so eloquent. Goodluck for the contest
