That distressing night
It wasn’t pretty light
But I still wanted to write
Many verses in spite
Raising my voice like a kite
And with all my might
I wrote my rune
To recite it to the moon
During the month of June
That was coming very soon
And needed to be in tune
With my upsetting afternoon
Looking at the stars
While hearing the guitars
I devoured all my chocolate bars
As if they could cure my scars
A tune to the moon
Written by the lagoon
A chant to the stars
To be played by sitars
A hymn to the night
calling for the light

perfect rhyme,
love the pace and rhythm in it.
how very tickling to have you write a piece especially fitting our theme,
very masterfully done,
everything about moon is so romantic, and you appear an expert in doing the moon poetry.
Thank you Jingle for your continuous support. I wrote this poem, trying to fit the theme, as a sign of appreciation for your kind encouragement.
I'm so glad you liked it!

Great poem. I thought the mention of sitars was especially inspiring.
A hymn to the night...indeed.
I really liked this as well.
Just the thought that someone is listening to sitars makes me extremely happy.
