A Crescent Moon Arose-1st in series

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A crescent moon arose,

wrapped in a flimsy shroud.

Alluring garment that she chose,

a slinky, silver cloud.

 

Sparkling stars did scatter

to pay homage to the beauty queen,

Did their veneration flatter?

Inspiration to wane so lean?

 

Enraged Venus did muster

amorous charms to engage,

O how alluring her satin luster,

yet crescent moon lit up centre stage.

 

Venus’ serene composure undone,

“Mercurial, sycophant stars,

 Diana has seduced you and won!”

In her fury, she flew to enlist the aid of Mars.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

somehow I got the idea of two beautiful rivals both wanting the adulation of the myriad of stars filling the night sky.....hope for a second installment soon.

I think it has a lot to do with how you think.

Lol the second installment will you take you away from mars, I am sure.

Ok this is one of your best I've read so far. It's an easy read. The format is well done. Great Job!

[Brett Campaigne]

A traditional rhythm which serves the extraordinary prose.

What a vast piece, encompassing the sky as its canvass. Beautifully confessed, this is one that lends itself to a deeper, richer sense of the world. That which is beyond our normal vision, but you capture it so well.

cool thing was I wrote the poem first and then found the pictures that fit so well, it looked likethe other way around! I love when you find the perfect picture to go with your poem!
