The Vernal

[Quarter Moon]

From the lips of the daughter of many daughters.
She danced like the Mahanaim.
A celestial equinox had come.
Nisan moons will bathe us in light.
The cold is gone ,and flowers bloom on the branches.
Laughter springs forth in the day.
There is peace in the night.
A gentle cooing sound.
He said come away with me my darling.
Come away,from the sticker bushes and the thistle.
Stars light up the heavens ,
and love arrives at an appointed time.
Like the celestial spheres when they align.

[Quarter Moon]

Spring time in Jerusalem.

I love your imagery, mystical and mysterious.

There is a lot of beauty in this. Putting a period at the end of every line makes it a bit disjointed, taking away from its fluidity, especially at the end of sentence fragments like the first line. I feel this is a poem that should wind smoothly like a dance.

I enjoyed reading it, thanks.

This is a fine poem Quarter Moon. There is fresh language and wonderful imagery. I really like this phrasing: "He said come away with me my darling. /Come away,from the sticker bushes and the thistle."

This fits of course with your War Cry poem. I appreciated the echo of the "Song of Songs" and the fluid grace of this. Thanks.
