The Moon over The village.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)

Free verse

The moon looks over the village.

As we walked hand in hand by the village bandstand, the moon was out; it had a glow that shed a light on which way we should go. The night was silent until we went to the lake. Then the silence was broken by a loon singing her song. Everything was right; nothing was wrong. I can see the glow of candles on the house's window panes. The candle I held's it's wax drips down on my hand, and it hurt for only a second or so, then when the church chimes rang out. It was time to go home. Oh, how I love you!

About this poem

This poem, 'The Moon over The Village,' beautifully captures the peaceful and romantic atmosphere of a night in the village. The imagery of the moon casting its glow over the village and the sound of the loon singing by the lake creates a vivid picture in the reader's mind. The use of sensory details, such as the wax dripping from the candle and the sound of church chimes, adds to the overall atmosphere of the poem.

One improvement suggestion could be to expand on the emotions and thoughts of the speaker as they experience this magical night. Providing more insight into the speaker's feelings towards their surroundings and their loved one could enhance the emotional depth of the poem. Additionally, experimenting with different poetic devices such as metaphor or symbolism could add layers of meaning to the poem.

Overall, 'The Moon over The Village' is a wonderful piece that captures the beauty of a night in the village. With some additional exploration of emotions and poetic devices, it has the potential to become even more impactful and engaging. Great job! more »
