My attempts....

This was a poem i had written for poetry competition while at school...surprisingly it won a prize!!
A MOONLIT NIGHT

The sun has set in the western skies,
And has shed its pearly haze,
The ears are devoid of the birds’ cries,
As they go homeward-bound far away from our gaze.
As it grows darker, the world seems still,
An unknown fear in our hearts does the nature instill…..


But the moon, with its mellowed rays,
Breaks the chrysalis of fear one is cloistered in.
it arouses strange emotions…those which both startle and bring dismay,
Of love, of sorrow and of remembrance of one’s kin…
Alas! who can relish its silvery gaze??
But the mortal who has toiled hard in the days….


It might make a fair lady beholding it recall,
Her coquettish good old days,
When she used to be the “Belle of the Ball”,
And hence been compared to the moon and its rays..
Or it may be, for a sly man, a self guide,To make him realize his hideousness like the
moon's other side……
