POETRY: ‘The Moon and the Bay’

Contributed by: Marshall Godwin, history major

Glimmering and gleaming in the night

Her divine radiance blesses my sight

Creating an astonishing hue

A beam of white on a body of blue

Which causes the choppy waves below

To explode with a celestial glow

And I find myself looking for words to say

When I watch the Moonlight on the Bay

A disc of platinum in the sky

Causing feral cats and dogs to cry

And howl and screech to the satellite

That has filled so many billions of nights

And the gulls all scream in harmony

An ornithological symphony

As I walk by the water in the month of May

And watch the Moonlight on the Bay
