The Blue Moon

Inspired by last night's "Blue Moon"

You feel it first, anticipation building,

Waves lap hard against the shore,

The daylight dims yet the energy grows,

Then you see it peaking over the mountain.

The sun has set and yet your eyes are sharp,

This night you’ve become nocturnal.

No curfew this evening to stop you,

So tonight’s the night, embrace it.

Wolves will howl and the owls hoot, 

As we walk along our shared route.

I can’t help but feel though as we gaze, 

That she’s the one watching us amazed.

Opportunities like this can be rare,

An evening with someone for whom you care.

I can see it in your eyes that you are swoon,

Please let this be more than once in a Blue Moon.

You have a unique approach to your poetry from what I've read so far. My initial thought, for this particular piece, would have been another poem under the distasteful 'vampire/werewolf romance' genre. By seeing your name as the author, I'm led to believe otherwise, fortunately.

Your use in the last phrasing took me beyond the realm of the reality of the play. The unassuming desperation in the voice of the reader is summed up by the last phrase- "Please let this be more than once in a Blue Moon"- and it takes the meaning of this poem for me to a newer, almost metaphyscial level. Thank you- top marks indeed.

no sparkling vampires here Sir haha.

Thanks mate I get much more satisfaction out of my writing by adding a hook at the end, whether it make it personable or bringing the poem full circle. Once again though thank you very much for the kind review.
