Soft Curtains

by visionary1234


There’s a round window
glinting silver
in the sky tonight
 
Languid,
the full moon
slowly sweeps back
her blowing curtains of soft grey rain
to peer at us
in vast amusement
 
before she slides them closed again
and slips back into bed of velvet
 
Like voyeurs,
we wait for her to reappear
so we can wax poetic

Recognized


"to wax poetic" - an idiomatic expression simply meaning "to be profusely poetic". The moon through the month is either "waxing" or "waning" - i.e. growing bigger, or growing smaller - so this is where the expression actually came from.
