June Poem - Judy

She

I am the she who rules the night

steals myriad stars from earthly sight

radiant beacon cold and bright

I am the she ...

I am the she whose cycle cues

a stunning almanac to view

wax, wane and lumen birth anew

I am the she ...

I am the she who glides through trees

brings poets and lovers to their knees

bold queen of vast celestial seas

I am the she ...

serene I sail this starry realm

my maker's hand upon the helm

I am the she ...

hello Judy, this reads like a song? I like the refrain and the repetition of the same phrase in the first line of each stanza. This is so strong, almost relentless, emphasised by the verbs - steals, glides, sails. I like the absolute authority of the moon - linked with women of course because of the female cycle of waxing and waning. Writers have often mused on the mystery of that. I wondered if this was a form I don't know, three rhyming lines and a refrain? Actually you could almost say it is a very modern version of a sonnet, though it doesn't have that change half way through. Good poem.
