At dVerse Lillian is hosting Poetics with an invitation to write a poem using one or more compound words separated but without any intervening words, within a poem. I chose the compound Starfish.

“It is a beautiful and delightful sight to behold the body of the moon.” Galileo Galilei
Fish For The Moon One night you said, look at the sky, and I marvelled at the array of lights, and you asked if I had noticed the brightest one in Orion, O yes, Rigel, without a doubt a grand star, fish for the moon I said, it is a goddess far beyond the mere twinkling lights afar.

Loving this…most especially the answer given within the last 4 lines. You’ve used the two root words so very well within the sense and flow of the poem. So glad you posted to the prompt!

Ahh, beautiful Selene, so close a few nights ago. I felt I could almost reach out and catch her in my net.
