Moody Moon in June

The Moon curled around as the Cat purred softly...

Once upon a Midnight Mist I pondered the Moon 

surrounded by a thousand Stars where moonbeams 

dreamed of romantic Rendezvous where passions play... 

The Curtain of Sapphire swayed and the Drama began. 

Oh Romeo where art thou... and He slowly Bowed... 

and promised to be true to his lovely Juliet who knew 

it was only an Adventure with a Sad Ending... so she 

drank the Wine and went to sleep forever...

Dearest Pat,
She did the wise thing by going to sleep and avoiding the pain and the tragedy that would have unfolded if she hadn't. I loved The Curtain of Sapphire and the thousands of stars that surrounded the moon. I adored the lover serenading his beloved. A poem most beautiful to read and behold in my mind.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest DIVYA... I have missed you... however, I knew wherever you are... the World needs you. I look forward to your Poetry. We now have a challenge to save our World to benefit the People and create a Future for the young children who deserve a peaceful place to spend a Lifetime of helping and loving others. gently, Pat

[Patricia]

Lovely romantic scene to a tragic and beautiful love story… classic on both counts!

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Patricia… your review is a Pearl of cultured sweetness. I can hear the Piano keys playing softly… gently, Pat

[Patricia]

Awww! :) so sweet

[Laura Kate]

Dreaming of 'romantic Rendezvous where passions play'.
Such beautiful, soft imagery... with a gentle warning against romanticising.
Unlike Juliet who saw through the rose tinted glasses and took control of her Sad Ending.
So bittersweet - a battle that can't be won, it seems, not through victory or defeat.
Lovely! I'll likely read this several more times.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Laura Kate… I appreciate your Theatrical review that touches our own sometimes Bittersweet Rendezvous. Shakespeare said that Life is a Stage and we are all Actors. tenderly, Pat

[Dave Brown]

The moon in June, neath which lover's tend to croon, is always nice to be accompanied with a midnight sip of wine to enhance the tune.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Dave… the Moon has many Moods… lovely to know you Tip the Moon with a 🍷 glass of Wine… gently, Pat

[Pryde Foltz]

Funny ... this piece puts together a lot of concepts that have been inhabiting my mind lately. I am reminded of the Neko Case singing she wishes she were the moon.

Lucky moon; the silent third in every romance; who moves one with ease to the next kiss.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Pryde… your words are like Canterbury Bells that Ring true blue. Love 💗 the way you describe a Kiss. tenderly, Pat

[Betty Hermelee]

Such soft wonders of the moon, the stars and in your pondering, your imagination goes wild with romantic notions of love and Passion between Romeo and Juliette, but then turns dark as death takes over the romance that was…..beautifully crafted Pat
Best, B

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Betty… sorry to be late… however I have held your review in my 💜 heart… I am Honored to read your smashing Review.. as though we were in the Theatre.. Be still my 💜 heart .. gently, Pat

[Betty Hermelee]

You're never too late!!! And you're very welcome!
hugs, B

Romeo and Juliet, those star-crossed lovers not even the "moody moon of June" could save.... I suspect that it was a combination of moon and wine that assisted you in writing this poem Patricia, along with being a romantic at heart of course.... "parting is such sweet sorrow" so they drank more wine.... ;0)

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Curt…. I often use the phrase.. “Parting is such sweet Sorrow”, Than you for sharing your thoughts… Inspiration is very Fragile. Wishing you a Summer of Shade and Lemonade. Gently, Pat

[Chris Shaw]

The lure of the moon and the spangle of a zillion stars. What a backdrop for romance. Loved the whole story of Romeo and Juliet, but you know I am partial to happy endings rather than tragedy. Beautiful, breathtaking poetry. Happy Sunday Pat. Love across the waves.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Chris … always happy to read your Review. The weather is Mild and Sunny.
We have been Home to wait for the Plumber to make things work better. Having Cold Watermellon seems to be very refreshing. I trust your Boating adventures were lovely with an evening Breeze. Welcome Home. Hugs, Pat

[andrew mitchell]

A lovely moving piece of poetic writing and it makes me wonder if there is a stairway to heaven, it certainly is in your world you aptly depict.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Andrew… your Generosity is humbling… as I stumble along and try to be poetic. The Moon must be Magical and I appreciate your Reading. Be well and safe. gently, Pat

[Lisasview]

Good morning dearest Pat,
Using Romeo and Juliet in your lovely poem was oh so clever...so romantic...
Loved the words you used. It made my mind wander into thinking... "The Curtain of Sapphire sawyer and the Drama began. Really loved, loved, Loved that line...
From your first sentence to your last I was moved...and, so I read your poem several times...
Only and adventure is another great line... Now rethinking your poem I loved all your lines..
Thank you for sharing this so I could read something so wonderful before pushing myself to get the housework done...seems never ending...

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Lisa... it is Sunday two am and you have given me a lovely Gem of a Review. I am thinking of how sweet people say... "I love you to the Moon and back" mostly to their Kids. How can we Poets be afraid when Poems keep us feeling ready to Conquer the World... especially when we receive a few Reviews that seem like a Tonic with an Olive. My Angels seem to know when I am Sad and they shuffle the Cards and give me a Winning Hand at Midnight or soon thereafter. There are Poets like you on WC who have Doctorate Degrees in Kindness Unlimited. tenderly, Pat

[Lisasview]

Gave me goosebumps to read your thank you!!
Hope you sleep well..with divine dreams,
Lisa, getting ready for a dinner party at our house..

[jacob erin-cilberto]

and Count Paris found them both, dead drunk...
which would have been better than dead dead.
"What's in a name, it's neither hand nor foot nor any other part belonging to a man...
a rose by any other name would smell as sweet..."
I cut my romantic teeth on Romeo and Juliet and will always have a crush on Olivia Hussey...

so in the end, what did you figure out as you pondered the Moon.
This is a perfect poem to start my day.

dear Jacob... you have me laughing here at two am on Sunday morning. You have a way of picking up my Spirits.... (how many Spirits is a Lady allowed to possess. I am totally Sober with a Poker face. Time to call it a Night... before the Sun Rises. Perhaps I will write a Poem about the "Sultry Sun" today or tomorrow. p.s. As I pondered the Moon... I figured out that The Man in the Moon has a Beard and looks like You. gently, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

It seems that my last words have disappeared to thank you Jacob. When I pondered the Moon… I saw a Man in the Moon with a Beard and he looked like You. gently, Pat
