Poetic Bloomings Under the Moon

 Under the Moon of Poetry

(a ballade)

 

Amidst the meter and the rhyme

Amidst the lines and the verses

Amongst the poets of our time

Come the blessing and the curses

From the cradles to the hearses

Stirred up in creativity

Some wonderment it disperses

Under the moon of poetry

 

Those who marvel in mere wording

Unite together with intrigue

Spotting wonders like they’re birding

Cheering each other in their league

Somehow erasing all fatigue

Fervent fans of hyperbole

Enthusiastic for the gig

Under the moon of poetry

 

Tears and laughter they are sharing

Tribulations, wisdom and grace

Persevering not despairing

Painting with words at their own pace

Life complexities face to face

With honesty the master key

Attune to person, time and place

Under the moon of poetry

 

Poeming for challenge and for fun

Gathered in mutuality  

In this, they feel that they have won

Under the moon of poetry
