Meadows of Moonbeams

Meadows of Moonbeams

A Poem by Cherrie Palmer
"

As Pat's poem ' A Dozen Scented Sunset Roses,' dances in my mind

"

Meadows of Moonbeams glisten with dew.

The clear night sky showcasing déjà vu.

Over and over this wonder is seen.

Is there any wonder why poet’s quill a moonbeam?

Sprinkles of Star dust bejewel fine web, 

And Argiope’s silk illuminates her bed.

With morning light, the spell is broke 

but the trail of the moon,

will bloom again come dark.

you break from your rhyme scheme in the closing three lines! i am screaming for a rhyme with "dark" :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) stunning imagery and your poem puts me there in the moonlight .. i especially love how you bring in the poets quill .. if i googled how many moon poems are out there i am sure it would be more than the National Dept. (perhaps we can trade them to pay it down eh!?) from context i knew Argiope is a spider but definitely looked it up ..good choice .. they are huge and so varied with colors and markings ... thanks for sharing your meadows and moonbeams Cherrie! ..they lift me up this morning :)

Thank you Kym. :) I enjoy trying to capture those snapshot moments.
That was a stark... dark, exclamation point:) sometimes i do that too, it grabs you in the end and yours did to me:) I never get to see the stars anymore living in the city I only get to see the odd dot I do miss them sometimes. I guess i'm stuck just writing with sunbeams:) A lovely poem Mon Cherrie!

A wonderful poem shared dear Cherrie. I love when night touches the day. The most wonderful part of the day. The words described with skill and wonder the view. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Good morning to you and you are welcome dear Cherrie.
Moonlight has an age-old connection with poetry and I feel the moon is indeed a great muse for many a nocturnal poet. Loved the reference to Argiope. Its always a delight to pick up a new word and what better way than through such beautiful poetry as this. The conclusion is stunning. The spell breaks only to be woven again with the blooming of the moon! Lighting hope in a poet's heart.

Appreciated very Ms. Cherrie!
You're most welcome.
dearest Cherrie... I adore reading a poem woven in silk and flowers perfume. A gifted poet uses expressions that only can be scripted by a quill dipped in Stardust. Moonbeams are bridges that cross over to dreams where Sunrise eyes see lavender love in every flower. tenderly, Pat

Oh I like that
Love your graceful poem that feels buoyant, the way it bobbles across my mind's eye! I love moon poems & this one is freshly scented to be unique from all the others. Pat's nature personifications get me every time, as does yours here! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Ya know I think favorite poems are written as someone else's inspiration engulfs me.
Like Pat's poem this provides a gentle and peaceful nightscape in lovely detail to the reader and provides hope that this life cycle continues.
