Thank you for sharing this beautifully written poem with us. I keep checking to see if it's entered in the rhyming poem contest. It should be. I will continue to pray for your healing. I miss you.

Pam,
I hope you get well soon.
This is such a lovely poem; the images and personification of the moon give a new "light" to Earth's only satellite.
(There will be a partial lunar eclipse on September 17, I hope you get to see it ,weather permitting).
Get well soon, Pam.
Best wishes and
Blessings,
Cindy

Nice work Pam. This entry shows a lot of imagination. My favorite part was:

When dusk's gray fingers start to spread,
they'll tuck the sunset into bed.

I didn't spot any real issues for correction. If I were to nitpick: "and, shades of dusk are standing by." <= I would ditch the comma, as it might suggest a pause disruptive to your otherwise perfectly functional meter.

Regards and best wishes for you speedy recovery,

No surgery leaves us feeling terrific when it's first completed, but back surgery seems like one of the worst. I hope your pain subsides soon and you are back to yourself again. Thank you for sharing your awesome poem. I enjoyed it very much.
Smiles, Carol

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Love Jen.

Sure hope your back is healing completely.
I liked reading this poem. It has a calm tone or mood.
Favorite lines:
When dusk's gray fingers start to spread,
they'll tuck the sunset into bed.

Little fixes:
and, shades of dusk are standing by.
I would take the comma out after and.


The city night's electric flow,
suppresses stars that want to glow.
You can take the comma out after flow.

and, wonders if she's worth the cost.
You can take the comma out after and.

Perhaps someday he'll figure out,
You can take the comma away from after the word 'out.' That is because you just have one independent clause there.

Same goes for this line:
She says that he should not forget,
You can take the comma out after the word forget.

    Thank you Crystie for a wonderful and detailed review. a comma is used to force a pause Perhaps there is a natural pause on going from one line to the next
