I really like this poem. The repetitive nature of Moonlit Night goes nice with the rhyme. Really helps the poem flow quite nicely. Plus any poem about the moon usually sound so nice.

where ever we are,some thoughts can be the same, like you always say I too felt I was there feeling exactly how you felt on that moonlit night
Sometimes I wonder how when an author turns into a poet!!, He must get on to a different level. Like two sides of the same coin??

I love the light of a full moon as much as I enjoyed this excellent piece Thank You Ron

Peace be with you
William

I love a moonlit night; well done, Ron. Love and peace to you,

Regis

Love it!!! Moonlit night, leave us evermore. Love it.

BEAUTIFUL POEM!!!!...'Your chain of love that's gone before'...'we will remember moonlights of old'----- I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!! Liana Margiva

Not bad, you're certainly a reliable poet. April-May is the best time for moonlit nights here in the southern country and this year, so different than the last few it's been unusually cool! And we finally had some rain, so maybe no heat wave this June but I hope to be out of here this summer....later, mike

Hi Ron,
Had few problems of my own lately, anyway, no use me moaning about them, it don’t make them better.

I must admit my cloth ears do have difficulty establishing the tune you have used, however the sentiment is great and it’s a wow with the ladies.

Moreover, as we, all know most song lyrics look terrible on their own.
I hope you do not mind a suggestion, here is a slightly different arrangement, hum it, see what you think.

That moonlight night,I’ve often pined.

Oh moonlight night, I, easy find,

Your love light shines on, oh so kind,

All thro, the moonlight night.

Best of luck,

Mor.

I think it's tender and beautiful Ron. A joy to read.

I'm thinkin... and I'm croonin... swayin and clickin me fingers... 'Blue Mooooooon, I saw you standin alone'. Think we're all suckers for 'duds' of this nature, Ron. Especially me :) xx

Lovely write, Ron! Truly enjoyed your wonderfully crafted phrasing...

Anna

Enjoyed reading this Ron...took me back to camping,traveling over the ocean, while sitting on the veranda and watching the moon.
Reaching out holding us in its light, captivates and moves our minds!

Beautiful!
Teresa

Ron,
I truly like it! You know me and the moon, so lovely moonlit nights to you, my friend!

Peace, love and light,
Amber

Sorry, folks, but this one's a dud. I had the lyric in my head for a day or two before I wrote it down. When I did, I couldn't exactly remember what I was singing in my mind, and found that even the first line wasn't right. Over three days, longer than I ever take on any poem, I added a line or so a day and fussed with them because they weren't very good. My weekly deadline came up and I posted. I am totally surprised at all your kind remarks, but the poem stinks.

Last week I was feeling the affects of a persistent urinary tract infection that has come back twice since first discovered in December. I got back on another, very powerful but dangerous, antibiotic last Thursday and feel a bit better, but much of last week was spent with fever, headaches, drowsiness, and muscle aches, making it a bit harder to think about poetry. It's no excuse though. Still I'm going to leave the poem up as it is and may, or may not, revise it in the future.

Thanks everyone for your loyalty and uplifting remarks. Remember, I always like good, constructive criticism and will leave it posted no matter what you write because it's your opinion, and I have no right to delete it because I don't like it. There's a lot of good and bad and I like to take both in stride.

Ron

Serene and magical "Moonlit Night"
Oh, for evermore the love..

I could hear Selene answering you here...all secrets revealed.
For how could she resist such an open heart!

Lovely!

With respect,

Gorgeous, positively gorgeous! This should, indeed, be set to soft flowing music.. it's truly a romantic's dream!
Thank You for your kind review at my site, Mr. Hull.. I read your profile and you are quite an amazing and accomplished individual! I am heartily sorry, that you lost faith in your Creator, because of the cruelities of man.

Sincerely,
Rhonda

I've got a melody going on in my head for this one! This is simply beautiful!

Love ya!

Jane

Swooning for this one, Ron
..forever be a long, long time

Lady Vivian

Bet you are too just an old "crooner", though just keep that crooning of yours in Texas, we got enough noisy, feral cats, er, uh, crooners up here in Jersey...e ;-)

I love this, as I read it I can hear it in my head as a swing/big band sings the lyrics, crooning into the microphone, filling the room as lovers sway...I am only in my 30's, but I hate today's unfeeling crap that they call music...hence why I listen to "oldies" and write poems...this one is beautiful. Enjoyed it!

..."We will remember moonlit nights of old"...
Your poem, Ronald, takes that spiritual strength
from those pioneer 1930's crooners and...whisper
from the back of the throat and top of the head
...in your verse that is at heighten, natural, honest,
true, unadorned...form of heart conversation...telling
the simple story of...moonlit night...
It is a breath-taking, beautiful poem.
I'm in seventh heaven. Regards. Isabella.

Very nicely done, Ron.

Oh but you are hitting the nail on the head with these romantic writes. So nice to read.

An appreciative dedication to one of life's sublime experiences. (BTW, consider switching the order of these two stanzas. I think it would help maintain the momentum, where with the present order, there is an anticlimactic moment with "...leave us nevermore." Just a subjective reaction. Carry on.


We watch your reflection off the waves,

As they gently gurgle against the shore.

Moonlit night, leave us nevermore.

Moonlit night.

Release your secrets ever more,

Your chain of love that's gone before,

When ancients worshiped your lore,

Moonlit night.

How softly and gently romantic set in the music
you have put to our mind...

Love and Light
Lily

Very lovely piece.. wistful, romantic, gentle.. love it

Romance . . . Secrets . . . "Moonlit Nights, a reflection of us and those we want to cherish and hold. And you are right, Ron, the memories of the moonlit nights will forever hold its charm.
