Happy date of birth to DVERSE POETS PUB JULY 19, 2011
SECRETIVE AND SMILING FRIEND
Moon always is with us
Seen or unseen.
Responsible maybe
For earthly lunacy
Some say
Always with us, our moon
Now tugging, now pulling,
Soon pushing away
As throbbing heartbeat
Some say
Dark nor light can fail
Freckle-faced Pimple-cheeked globe
From showing shadowy forms.
Size and shape changing daily
Some note
Yet none on earth or else
Can render force of gravity
Less powerful. Lovely moon,
Imperturbably spotted,
Pimpled, Dimpled, and
As some say,
Strongly influencing equally
Fierce fighters...Passionate lovers.
It is said this gigantic sphere
Hides among its secrets
Even ever sweeter attractions
Some say

So they say...maybe true but on a moonlit night, something is different in the air. Maybe it's just our excuse to be someone else or try something different for a change.
ReplyDeleteNice to see you at this opening day~
smiles...to dance int he light of the moon, tis a beautiful things steve...makes waves, thats power...
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Steve. That moon - old devil or otherwise, certainly has its lure. I've enjoyed it under Hawaiian skies, in India, on a gondola in Venice and over Miami, as well. Whether it's a sliver or a big golden globe, I'm always under its spell!
ReplyDeleteThe moon can cast it's shadiw on one and all, even greater when in a pair of course. Great write.

AYALA:

MAGPIE:
That word 'affinity' has been my favorite expression, to explain the "WHY" of so many happenings with Peeps.
LORI:
Well, a couple nights ago, we were doing the same thing then. Staring at the face in space.
Love the refrain, and I too, love to write about the moon. She is irresistible to me, so perhaps there's something in that whole lunacy thing. ;_) Great to see you at dVerse, and thanks for all your kind comments at my place.

ReplyDeleteHEDGEWITCH:
ReplyDeleteAsk any bartender (me?) or police-Peep, Firefighter, EMT, Hospital Emergency Room worker about that 'special chaos which happens with super regularity every 27.3 days...
I believe
In lunacy

I do not enjoy being 'missed'. because that means *I* am the one who has really missed out.

Does the moon shine over there as well?--grin!

MINING FOR DOLLARS:
Kimberly, that word Imperturbably
would seem to fit one who is auditioning for a symphony gig.
Right?

..."to the MOON, ALICE!"
--Ralph Crandon
I'm mooning over your poem! Beautiful imagery, mesmerizing words. I prefer moonlight to sunlight any time!
ReplyDeleteLovely, Steve. In all her imperfections and absolute perfection, the moon may have inspired more writers, artists, lovers and madmen than anything else.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course you rock. Geez, as if.
LOLAMOUSE:
ReplyDelete"Mooning over the moon" LOLOL! I even shoot photos in near-dark without flash, because I want them to show what I see. lad you came by. YOU are member of "Poets United"...I might join there and see if I can keep up.
