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
.
