The consumed moon
frees itself creating shapes
with edges of pale yellow dreams.
Forming silhouettes with dim accuracy,
scrawling scenes right for rich imaginations,
poof of painted mirth.
On this night, in this sky
soothing in its quiet and beauty
solitudes wish fulfilled.

For dVerse Poets Pub where I chose the following five “charms” of Samuel Greenberg as per instructions for the prompt where Laura Bloomsbury is hosting Poetics. We are looking at the poetry of Samuel Greenberg. To participate or read, go here.
The following are the words incorporated in my poem: Yellow dreams; Accuracy; Consumed moon; Painted mirth; Solitudes wish
They are from his poem “The pale Impromptu” by Samuel Greenberg.
I love these lines:
“Forming sillhouettes with dim accuracy,
scrawling scenes right for rich imaginations,
poof of painted mirth.”
Fabulous wordsmithing here in this poem!

I like the connection of the moon and it’s phases – changing shape every day. The first two lines really sets the pace and theme.
