What Happens During a Full Moon

Full moon changes face
brings out the howling of beast.
Norm becomes it's opposite
truth is deception
deception gives way to the
hidden desires that take shape.

Taboos arise
outshine all its sanity
closets open out comes bones
parts of skeletons
hidden from society
atmosphere home of the beast.

Moon shines on the brow
become everyones excuse
to roll the dice hit snake eyes
roll them you will see
life is the playground for
what happens when the moons full.

Wow, this is brilliant, Valerie. We do get an eerie feeling sometimes when we see a full moon. Behavior changes as well as we see more murders and suicides during full moons. That second verse is superb!! Congratulations on your win in Russell's contest. Love, Carolyn
