Oh clarity, thy name is moon...
Probing the sky with golden light
From Szechuan to Saskatoon
On any carefree cloudless night
When coyote song is heard to croon
In between the bats in flight
After their sonar gets in tune
For an efficient insect bite
With mouths more like a fork than spoon
To the keen zookeeper's sight
Which will not be too picayune
If zoologists know how to write
Better than the standard baboon
Passing for a well read troglodyte
Who moonlights with a pet raccoon

Lol... I absolutely marvel at how very very keen and talented your writer's ability is to be able to rhyme with a word like troglodyte!! 👍🏻 Kudos, indeed.
I've read a few pieces of your work, finding your flow just beautifully pristine. You sincerely don't miss beat... Incredible!

Thank you! That's very kind of you to say and I am very impressed with the community here. It seems like a very supportive bunch so it's good to be here. I see you have over 400 poems so I am trying to catch up. I look forward to reading as much as possible but I fear it will take a while. I mainly focus on sonnets but I'm definitely stoked to check out the diverse and spectacular wordsmithing at play here, and hope to maybe be inspired to try a new form or two. Good times ahead!
