Daylight Moon

My musings on the phenomenon of being able to see the moon during the day. Photo taken by Alex Blok, a poetry group host who has passed on.

Daylight Moon

I've often pondered the mystery

'Cause I don't know how it's done

That we can see a full moon in the sky

During daylight, ruled by the sun.

I'm sure astronomers can expound

The technical reasons for this.

But it does not feed my romantic soul,

Giving that feeling of bliss.

So I have fashioned in my mind

A possible reason why

On certain days both sun and moon

Share the same daylight sky.

Though Moon is feminine, her will is strong

When she misses her husband, Sun

She ventures into His Light Realm

For her will cannot be undone.

When HE misses her he cannot go

Into her Realm of Night.

His power would 'luminate her world,

Filling her kingdom with light.

Moon's subtle feminine power

Is welcomed during the day,

While Sun is forever banished

From visiting Moon to play.

Now doesn't this begin to explain

The nature of females and males?

While the male species is very strong,

Feminine power prevails!

This was awesome, well-written, and it even gave me a little laugh at the end. Great work!

Cool, it's funny because I have a poem about the EXACT SAME THING as this! (Moonbeams in the Sun) It's a beautiful poem. I like the flow of the words!

Thank you for the kind and encouraging words. I look forward to submitting more poetry and getting responses to them I'm not afraid of a good solid critique that will help me hone my poetry skills. Poetry feeds my soul. I look forward to reading the works of other poets here.
