(In Unique Triplets)
By Sheri Stanley and Dena M. Ferrari
Magnificent moon so mysterious
Quite mystifying
Electrifying
Mystic light reflects its powers on me
Tides sweeping ebbing
Orb of night setting
Alluring moon makes me delirious
My heart is racing
Sweet dreams are tracing
Moonbeams shine on me in the quiet night
Waves crashing the shore
Blessings I implore
Penetrate my dreams I become inspired
To a writer’s fire
Instill the desire
The moon and I combine our energies
Our thoughts intertwined
Our words are combined
What a great collaboration! Thank you for sharing your combined talents with the lovely imagery.

Thank you so much, Charlene! You are quite the sweetheart, too! Do you do collabs? If so, let me know - they are sooo much fun! Thank you for commenting and being your usual sweet self - it is so appreciated, believe me! Come visit my site, too, will you? Would love seeing you there! Sheri / www.poetryandbeyond.net
ReplyDeleteWow! The moon does bring out the poets in us. Thank you for sharing this collaborative poem, Sheri and Dena. I enjoyed reading it and like your idea of doing a collaborative piece.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your wonderful and positive comments! Isn't it incredible that here, on Whispers, the response and moral support of all others for another is so amazing! Thanks so much for that! Sheri / www.poetryandbeyond.net
ReplyDeleteA beautiful Co=write by two gifted writers, creative words capture wonderful thoughts by the reader, a pleasure to read this lovely poem. Blessings sent with love, Lee
ReplyDeleteHi, Lee - I apologize if I missed acknowledging your comments, hon. I guess I became lost in the shuffle! Lol! I love your wonderful comments and I thank you for being such a blessing, my friend! I will always and forever be "hung up on the moon" - blind-sided by the moon and totally mesmerized by its mystique and beauty, as we see it from here on earth. Thank you, Lee - hope all is well!

DeleteThank you, Isha Wagner, for the following--
ReplyDeleteThis is such a romantic vision of the moon which, if I had lived say a hundred years ago, would have enchanted me. I don't see the moon as mysterious or mystic any longer! but I wish I did. Sheri and Dena's words are stunning and create a longing for that which is unknown. Now, literally millions of planets to choose from or so it seems, with all the mysteries of the future still to come.
Yours sincerely
Isha Wagner
Yes, and all of that, yet, the moon is so magnetic and will ever be great inspiration for love, love poems, stories of all kinds of imaginations! Your comments are so creative and even though its mystique has waned from your view, I think perhaps, there may still be just a teesny-weensy bit of it still in tact! Thank you, Isha!

Dear Sheri and Dena,
ReplyDeleteI can't tell who wrote which verses, but I love all of them. The moon affects the tides, our moods and often inspires passion and literature. You covered all of this so well in your words. Bravo!
Love,
Carolyn
I love the moon, and of how it inspires people to write lovely poems, and this one definitely falls under that category-- I really enjoyed this collab of yours, Sheri and Dena-- I really liked how you made your poem flow, that one wouldn't know which wrote which part-- there sure is something about the moon that just so mystifying and so alluring... Sheri, thank you so much for passing by my poems-- hmm I think I have yet to have a poem on chocolate published here... Keep on enjoying chocolate and me, I never experience winter yet...
