: Crescent Moon by Treischel





The night
           was dark
                         but you
                                were there,
                                                 so fair,
                                                       to clothe
                                                           night sky
                                                               with gold
                                                                   thin glare.
                                                                    Oh Moon,
                                                                    your beams
                                                                       that shine
                                                                       so bright
                                                                      in night's
                                                                    black air,
                                                               will show
                                                           so sweet
                                                     to share
                                             the love
                                  you spare
                        to those
            who view
you there.



 

Author Notes
The moon is always spellbinding, but the crescent moon is very special.

This poem is a Monometer Poem
A Monometer poem is written in one iambic foot (two syllables per line). The strong accent must always be on the second syllable, in order to keep it iambic. It can be as long as the poet likes, but at least 10 lines. This is a very good poetic form to teach iambic meter.
