By Jove!
I glanced at lovely Artemis
who by the stars arose
and thereby got a moonbeam kiss
upon my groggy nose.
Her sportive gibbous, on the wane,
still threw a hearty glow
which sparked anew my sleepy brain
and all the Earth below.
Thusly the morning was well spent
before the day began
when to her zenith Luna went
as gold as old rattan.
And there she did luxuriate
above Orion's frame
chasing her to an evening fate...
beneath a solar flame 🔥

Merely my emulation of old English common meter, or ballad meter, which is essentially the same, and aimed at the moon who gets mytho-sexualized in the process when I name drop some classical astronomical terms resulting in a satisfying poetic recipe.
I'm greatly delighted that you enjoyed it:)

Maybe we can work out some kind of Disneyland "Fast Pass" arrangement.
Or I suppose we could tag team her:)

Many, many thanks!
And I truly appreciate you not shunning me for my wildly unorthodox psyche:)

Loving the mythology pieces with that modern touch while still staying true to the classics.
Amazing work.

It's amazing how many folks still connect with the mythological references.
