Say No To The Moon!

Its not all pretty

Mistress of guile
Dark side concealed
With deft sorcery
Deceptive her
'Sea of Tranquility'
With malice
she spawns subterfuge
in moonstruck hearts
Driving lovers to
the edges of sheer lunacy
Serenading the wolves
till they howl for her
with eerie lust
feeding her vainglory
With spite
she evokes tempests
in earthly seas
With treachery
she waxes and wanes
her gibbous face
an ode to occult
and aced witchery
Stop singing paeans
to the moon
She is but a piece
of pure, celestial devilry

Hi AJNJ! I just thought this poem very different from most other poetry I have read on the moon. Its definitely not conventional to say the least. And a reader like me would term it fascinating. In literature worldwide,the moon has come to symbolize everything pious and nice and definitely beautiful. Read any classic poetry and you'll find oodles of evidence to the general poetic approach. I, personally, do not recall any masterpieces to the contrary. So your slashing the pristine image to bits here comes as a bit of shock and teeny weeny dismay but it doesn't distract from this poems uniqueness and entertainment value. I'd say,come on, we need a different viewpoint, something not so run-of-the-mill. And this poetry is a fine example of that. So overall I felt happy reading something new. Keep giving us different poetry. Thank you.

Hi Ms. Sabrina! If we write poetry, our poetry should be as unique as our fingerprint. Whats the point of pouring over Shakespeare or Keats and coming up with a poor copy of their masterpieces? So my efforts are always to move away from the conventional. I'm a standalone scribbler,not appreciated much but I prefer it this way. Thanks a ton for the great, in-depth review. I'll get to your poetry soon. I have no doubts its as lovely as you 🤗💕
