Moon Is My Muse

Gracing the night as a pale shining sphere Shedding her beams o'er the land far and near Gliding along with the curtain of stars With her companions, bright Venus and Mars Light all around me reflects on the snow Bathed in the presence of Luna's fair glow Moonlight the same over thousands of years Shines on the earth as a comfort to fears Moon that is full, or a crescent that wanes On through the ages, fair Luna remains Kissing the slumbering earth with her light Shining in beauty so soft through the night As the earth does endure, as the ages roll by May the moon ever shine as a lamp in the sky ~ Written 2/26/13 for the Moon is my Muse Contest. First Place.

gosh, this is the third moon muse sonnet I have read in the last 15 min and it is remarkable how beautiful each sonnet is. I don't know how the judge will decide this contest with beautiful poems like this one.
