Phantom Moon



New day under way.
Warm morning sun
Still low in the sky,
Having just lifted its head
       from the horizon.

Phantom moon,
A spirit of the night
Suddenly bound
In early morning sunshine
Floats faintly above,
Faded and pale.
A phantom moon.

About this poem

A few days ago it was fully light outside at 8 AM and the moon was very visible fairly high in the sky. I had a moment of inspiration and wrote this poem.
