Moonbeams

The moon is an ancient sphere,

a circle, the continuous shape of life.

It's mysterious and powerful

as it waxes or wanes each month.

The moon is like a pale, silver lady.

Elegant, graceful, strange and temperamental

as sometimes she can fill people with

fear and hatred, or security and safety.

She bathes in a silver glow, looks like

a beautiful, strange thing as she

swoops in and out of clouds playfully.

With her beauty out come the stars,

twinkling with laughter, sometimes shooting

past joyfully.

The moon gives sleep, rest to those who need it. Animals and humans who simply sleep for energy, while others sleep to take a break from the hatred, despair, sadness, and anger of the real world. Their weary bodies lay on a surface, while their ignorant souls drift, drift, drift...

When the pretty moon feels especially spiteful and angry, she wanes and curses innocent beings with nightmares. But, the fair lady she is, always calms down, becomes joyful, waxes, and blesses people with no dreams at all, or perfect happy ones. When the moon, the brilliant stars, come out, it usually fills people with a strange sense of happiness, that there are always second chances, and that life must go one.

Hi Lydie,

I was able to read Moonbeams, but there is a message that says "there areno chapters" that pops up when I click on Sunlight.
You will have a bright & very long career in writing...you are very talented.
Keep up the Good work!

P.S. Any idea when you will decide the winners of the poetry contest from June 2016?

[lydie]

Thank you for the compliments! And, I am so sorry that I took so long to comment and decided the winners of my contest. Both things are because my computer has been acting up lately, and whenever I try to click the contest, it is like it crashes. So sorry for wasting your time if you entered the contest. Sorry!

a poem and a story combined. cool.

"The moon is like a pale, silver lady.
Elegant, graceful, strange and temperamental
as sometimes she can fill people with
fear and hatred, or security and safety."

I like the comparison... classic, but new in a way.

Keep writing,

With your poem, it is like a dream and I enjoy how it uses more of the beauty of night than the suspenseful side.

Calming and peaceful... you're only 11 years old? Damn. I couldn't do that when I was 11.

Interesting poem! The moon is very beautiful and intelligent on its own and your poem really shows the power of this sphere that controls many parts of our lives. Nice job! : )
