I stole the moon from sky
In a literary fit and faux pas
Snuggled in my favorite rocking chair by the moonlit pond
I dreamt of the possibilities teeming far beyond the stars
What if I were to fly way up to the magnificent moon
Harnessing her infinite power of pure white gold
While rescuing the long lost man of fabled moon's doom
And sneaking a peek at Jupiter, Mars, and planets afar
What wonderous occasions for my literary persuasions
Hoping fervently that inspiration entices fantasy from the air
Could I just catch, grab a hold of the moon as it silently slid by
Can riches be found in the spinning and weaving of tales
Most splendid are ideas etched within distant moonbeams
Cyan clouds jealously cover the moon, eclipsing her light in time
Concealing her voluptuous rounded beauty from my sight
Considering that she has no right to do such a dastardly thing
I yanked em' both down from the starlit and twinkling sky
There in the pond they will forever accompany me and deliver
Sumptuous words of literary vocalization, phrasing and modulation
The world of night will certainly go dark, you vociferate shrilly
If I imprison the moon in a dark pond of my personal making
What do I care if the wretched world is plunged into perpetual dark
To bed they would head, crime would certainly, hopefully be stark
You reason and reason, I see your point, I completely agree
To allow the moon and cloud back up high into the darkened sky
As soon as they make me rich and famous with words of such elocution
I could compose forever the very best literary and artistic convolutions.

I love how whimsical and elegant this piece feels! Your narrative voice you used feels so well chosen. Like a motherly figure reading a well loved poem to her child, as bedtime approaches. I found it inspiring and euphoric!
