Frozen fragments
Icily dispersed
As beads that necklace
The moon.
The gleam
Of light reflected
Tinting
The lacy ring
With smudge-faded
Rainbow colors.
"Beautiful", they all say.
But poor Luna,
Who shows up every night.
Only considered wonderful,
Because of a mere circle of light.

Frozen fragments
Icily dispersed
As beads that necklace
The moon.
The gleam
Of light reflected
Tinting
The lacy ring
With smudge-faded
Rainbow colors.
"Beautiful", they all say.
But poor Luna,
Who shows up every night.
Only considered wonderful,
Because of a mere circle of light.
There was a ring around the moon tonight.
