Sterling Moon

The orb of winter’s night;
Guides by sanguine light.
We sang a passionate tune;
While hoping to catch on soon,
A glimpse of sterling moon.

    The moon is a perfect subject for imagism. I like “sterling moon.”

  2. Bjorn says:

    I agree with Victoria.. the moon works so well with creating that image…

  3. Mary says:

    I enjoyed your word use in this one, Sanaa. There is something about a full moon in winter.

  4. Lovely image that you painted here!

  5. Gayle Walters Rose says:

    Sterling moon, yes, it is…gorgeous!

  6. Gay Cannon says:

    We both wrote of silver moons – funny coincidence. You went deeper and more poetic though – complete with a dual set of rhymes giving it absolute music of the spheres. Lovely.

    Lovely imagery, Sanaa–evocative of winter’s brilliant moon.

  9. These full moons of winter,
    drenching silver the shadows from my deck light,
    excite the lunatic fringe
    & salve poetic souls
    every time they appear.

  10. Very nice and I see the same moon from where I am .

      Thanks for stopping by, so glad you liked it πŸ™‚
      Highly appreciated, have a great week ahead.

  11. “sterling moon” is stunning. Not just in color, in value. My love affair with the moon has assigned that level of value all these years, especially as a poet…and yet I have never given her this gorgeous adjective. Well done.
