Romanticizing an orb of light
creates an illusion of perfection
but, in reality it exposes imperfection
Romanticizing the radiant moon
poets have written sonnets of
adoration about her mystical beauty
Be watchful of her dark side passing
through earth's shadow playing
with vulnerable hearts...

incorporating "zing"
Author's note: I am unable to comment at dVerse
but, I have been reading. Seems to be associated
with word press.
I saw somewhere wordpress is having troubles today - a glitch. One rarely thinks of the dark side of the moon when looking at its silvery face........I remember when the astronauts made that passage behind the moon, holding our breath till they emerged.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update. I am still having trouble commenting on various blogs.
DeleteRomancing the moon - love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks! That moon has a certain allure.
DeleteOh, I love this. I adore the moon, and writing about her. This is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI have been having a TON of trouble commenting all over, today. Mostly Wordpress, but also some others. Hoping it's resolved quickly, because it's a little maddening. Madden-zing. ;)

Thanks De for hosting - I am having trouble commenting as well, however, I have been reading.
DeleteLovely poem.
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteNicely done, Truedessa. I like the way you show both sides things considered romantic!
ReplyDeleteThanks she is a two sided mystery.
DeleteI love how you incorporated the prompt word, Truedessa, and how you pondered on the moon. I agree that we must ‘be watchful of her dark side passing through earth's shadow playing with vulnerable hearts...’
ReplyDeleteThe full moon does play with ones emotional tides.
DeleteI feel that the brightness of the moon cannot outshine the darkness I feel.
ReplyDeleteInteresting thought Bjorn - darkness always lurks
DeleteClever way to put zing in it.
ReplyDeleteha ha romanticizing adds a bit of zing to life...
DeleteThe last stanza is almost a poem in itself.
ReplyDeletePoets do love the moon! Cleverly done.
Thank you Merril - I guess I am feeling the full moon approaching in my sphere of light.
DeleteSo beautifully done, Truedessa!
ReplyDeleteThank you the Snow Moon will be full view tomorrow!
DeleteTrue, true, Truedessa! Well played!
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you....appreciate the visit and comment
DeleteOoh, eerie. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra - The full moon is tomorrow so I will be watching.
DeleteI resonate with; "Be watchful of her dark side passing through earth's shadow," ... there is so much that we don't comprehend about the moon. Gorgeous poem 🩷🩷
ReplyDeleteThanks Sanaa - so true a mystery for the ages....
DeleteSo weird! Well, that's why some call it Weirdpress. I'm IN and people who were IN last year are OUT. No doubt it'll flop back next week...
