I am drawn to this lady of the night
in luminescent dress of mirrored light.
Beauty combined with mystery and grace,
inspiring poets and artists with her face.
Cerridwen, Luna, Artemis, Selene;
by these and many guises she is seen.
She casts her magical enchantments well,
even true cynics fall under her spell.
And mighty oceans are forced to comply
to mystical woman who rules the sky.
Sometimes her profile is all that we see,
but I favor her full face shining on me…
So turn me away from the harsh daylight,
I succumb to this beauty of the night.

ReplyDeleteAh yes.. the one you worried about getting no votes and it did well in the Challenge... it's a good piece Ginny, I think you are hard on yourself. This fits the Form Monday prompt well. I remember Apollo well from both school and University
