Moon Light Fever Poem by ayam Rose Estelle

Moon Light Fever

Rating: 5.0


The sun needs its day of rest,
I sit outside, prisoner to light of the moon.
When watching the sight, I leave my shy cocoon.
It’s that moon light fever.

A sigh and a smile, the silent night calls.
I look at the sky; there forms a web of crystals,
I then gaze at the moon, so humble, so gentle.
I can’t help but embrace the moon light fever.

A tradition every night,
My eyes explore the sky,
But when morning comes, it’s time to say goodbye,
To the moon light fever.

This, as I am sure you know, is your best on the sight. If I were to say why, it would be because it reaches for more originality than the others. It's not that I think rhyming is bad, but sometimes without enough practice, one risks letting rhythm, structure, and even imagery become predictable. At the end of the day though, you definitely have a leg up on most of us starting so young. Good luck!

Ms. Justice: I agree with Mr. Lenth, this is the best of the five I have read so far. I also share his opinion with regard to rhyming. My suggestion is that, perhaps as an exercise, you try some 'off' rhymes. Instead of rhyming 'moon' and 'June, ' for example, try finding your meaning (or better yet, your mood) first, and then look for the words that best express that meaning or mood. When people rhyme, they often are so concerned with finding the right rhyme that they overlook the meaning and mood. Find what you wish to convey and then look for the words that will most directly accomplish that. Substance first, then form. Of course, this is all my opinion. I could be wrong. Happy motoring, G
