Bedazzled – for Poetry Potluck
The yellow crescent moon
brimming with quiet tears
planted in her own orbit
bound on a balcony of cloud
Her crown of gold
in glory so bright
spans over the horizon
and shines in her delight
Total unforgotten glory
singing during the night
a galaxy of silver flame
like diamonds in the night

Another creation by Amanda, this one starring the moon in all its beauty! The Beethoven piece, Moonlight Sonata, crowns your words and illustration perfectly. My hubby wanted to hear it twice more so I washed dishes to the sounds of Beethoven’s sonata. Thank you for sharing.
September 21, 2010 at 11:30 am
Is that not a beautiful piece of music? I can imagine you playing it and washing dishes…LOLOL. You are welcome and wonderful to hear you have enjoyed xxx

Have you ever been to Broome,WA…..to see the staircase to the moon, happens from March to October ….? Lived in Broome for a couple of years absolutely magnificent, the full moon reflects of the mudflats…
Another one of Australia’s wonders!!

Come on now, Buttercup, you’re slipping: That moon is neither crescent nor yellow. But it’s a lovely poem regardless
(I’m just one of those people who can’t help themselves, so just pity me)

Ooooh… you really are the queen of romance, Amanda!
After reading this, I actually got up and went to my window to watch the moonlit sky for just some more time… and now I have an idea for a poem…yipppeee!! 😀 Thankoooo
You have very beautifully personified the moon here, my lovely friend… it deserves all the respect we give, and more! And so DO YOU!!
What would I have done without you… potluck would just be “pot” without you…just half! 😉
