Night is stygian sans of stars
Dark mood shares kinship
With black sky of new moon
Moon's jubilant child I am shedding
The gloom under full moon's glow
Great imagery......affinity of dark mood with new moon and transforming gloominess unto happiness at the arrival of full moon.......outstanding piece
Savita, I already added this poem to my list. It's a wonderful evocation of the moon's special rapport with poets. I too am a moon-struck poet! I like the way you acknowlege the moon's often negative impact on people's moods and THEN take on the the mission of altering that baleful effect AND YOU SUCCEED, earning the gratitude of poets (and people) everywhere. This poem is based on an ancient notion that poet's have (for lack of a more precise word) magical powers. And this poem illustrates a portion of that magic!
Moon's jubilant child I am shedding The gloom under full moon's glow It is so possible that such an effect is produced in us by the sight of this radiant Queen of the night! I have written a poem to this effect.... Lunar Influence! Enjoyed the rich brevity of this write!
On the corpus of this beautiful poem, I wish you happy new year dear madam...stay blessed by the bless of God

(This is the fourth time I started typing my response. Something keeps erasing my text!) SO IT GOES, as Billy Pilgrim used to say. - No stars shine in the night sky. Nothing illuminates the night. And that blank black sky parallels a dark mood among humanity, one reflecting the other, accentuating this grim situation. But you are the moon's jubilant child, you embody the pure light of the New Moon, and when it shines on things it brings emotional light as well. This is a mysterious rescue (I referred to Elizabeth Bishop's poem ONE ART in my text message. Serendipity! It's Today's Poem on the HOME PAGE.)
