Hiding and showing
While craftily glowing
‘Tween soft mists blowing
You’ve a smile all too knowing
~*~
Humble and coy
Making souls buoy
With an impish decoy
You bestow a mystic joy
~*~
Alluring and urging
And well-timed emerging
You have our pulses surging
In love you leave us submerging
~*~
Glossy and divine
In the sky you shine
Making us yen and pine
With a million stars in line
~*~
Rising and dancing
While slowly advancing
With your looks entrancing
You seize two hearts romancing
~*~
Lucid and bright
In an inky skylight
You are a sure delight
On a dark mirthless night

**This moonie poem is posted for One Shot Wednesday, (coincidentally) hosted this week by our lovely Moondustwriter… Do check out this week’s OSW and indulge in all the poetic goodness!!! 🙂 **
How I write, is mine...How you read, is yours 
I love this poem! I must have been a wolf in another life, because the sight of the moon makes me want to howl, dance and sing. You captured the moon in your words.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo.. (that was a super long howl) 🙂 The next time you hear an distant howl on a full moon night, just remember it’s me .. answering your call 🙂
I am very happy you enjoyed this one, Myrna… thank you so much for your kind words of appreciation here…
A very happy new year to you, my dear friend..
Very Nice – at first glance the picture reminded me of the jellyfish and it’s soft dance in its environs. The dance is just as delightful under the moon for two who are brought together under her glow 🙂
thanks for sharing with One Shot
MDW – glow
hehe… the moony glow sure makes the worst of us dance too 🙂
Glad you enjoyed this one, my dear..
Keep glowing, and keep rocking!!
Interesting …a jellyfish moon…now there’s a poem for you Kavita…enjoyed your poem.
heheheh… we do tend to associate Moon with the whimsical… that’s what I have done here too 🙂
Glad you enjoyed this whimsical piece, Charles!!! 🙂
Happy New Year!
i liked that, very nice
Gee.. thanks a bunch, micbob!! You are too kind..
Well…a girl’s gotta pass the time somehow, and stirring up a little somepin is as good a way as any, yeah? After all, the moon is traditionally feminine, and not subject to the usual jurisdictions. 😉
you can say that again, Fireblossom!! 🙂 The Moon is as good a way as anything else, to pass some time (and I mean that in a really good way) 🙂
Hope you enjoyed this one, girl…
Have a good one..
The use of “ing” endings on every other stanza made this a song. The rhythms were compelling and magnetic throughout mirroring that gravitational pull. Well done in form and meaning. Thank you, Gay @beachanny
Thanks for the appreciation and encouragement, Gay…it’s very nice of you to say that, my friend…
I like it. Moon shine is my favorite lighting.
Me toooooo… Thanks for liking thisp oem, my friend.. it means a lot to me!!
xoxo
Love, love, love this. You are amazing my dear!
Aww.. and you are really kind, Nicole.. Thank you soooo much, dear..
As Robert Heinlein said, The moon is a harsh mistress. Changeable and fickle–wasn’t that Shakespeare? But always a good subject for a poem and you’ve covered all her many faces here nicely, Kavita.
hehehe.. the Moon is so lovely and mysterious, she makes many a poet write about her 🙂
Glad you liked this poem, Joy.. and thank you so much for all those lovely lines and kind words.. means a great deal to me!
Ah, the powerful pull of the moon, inspiration for love and lunacy. Like this a lot, Kavita.
Awww.. thank you loads, Patti sweetie!!

A sweet, romantic ode to the moon, Kavita!
Awww.. thankooz, Eric.. 🙂
Ha – saw this and I immediately thought, “Oh my, Moonie’s gonna love this one…”
Beautiful, celestial imagery – put with forth with a delicacy and a tenderness that could also reinvision the piece as one for lovers…very soothing one, Kavita. Just drinking it in…

You shine like the moon, Kavita! I’ve missed you… I’ve been absent from blogging for a bit, but your poem is so perfect, I’m being pulled into your night sky. I love the words, the form, the image you chose! I wish you the best of life in this New Year, my dear friend! Thanks for visiting my blog!

So happy to see that you enjoyed this poem, my dear friend… and like the moon, you too inspire me greatly, sweetie… can’t thank you enough for that!!

Watching the moon is such a delight.
Here is my one shot:
musical whirlwind
hah! You can say that again, Gautami… it is a delight indeed!
Hope you enjoyed this one..
I miss moonlight..I wish I was in the countryside where there are no lights. Thanks for reminding me about its eternal beauty.
Aww…. just drive to the outskirts of the city on a full moon night, Keshav… you will find yourself gazing like crazy at the moon! 🙂 You won’t miss moonlight anymore if you do this once in a while..
Glad you enjoyed this one, K!
I love the way you captured the moon. The picture is really cool too. 🙂
hehehe.. thank you so much for the sweet words, River.. you are too kind! Am SO glad you liked this poem-pic combo, sweetie!!

You’ve a smile all too knowing – this in reference to maniacal moon is superb! You always amaze me with your ability to pull off such tremendous rhyme schemes!
hehehe.. thanks a bunch, Suzicate… you saying this really means a lot to me! and I terribly excited that you liked this poem so much!
I guess Moon and rhymes go well together after all.. 😉
Thank you for leaving your comment on ‘i see you have left’, Kavitha. I love your site and have gone through a couple of your poems and articles. I must say, from whatever I have read, your language is buoyant, effervescent, pixie-ish and so full of heart! And it is same with your responses to comments and the design of your website! I look forward to reading you 🙂
Cheers
Padmavani

Great, theme-tight work, with an equally-great title.
Aww…thanks a ton, Steve… That moon up there is really inspiring! 🙂
Whimsical? Yes! Beautiful? Yes!
