The Moon's Crescent

effervescent, the moon's crescent
freshly cut, a slice of lime
spilling whites and greens, fluorescent
coloring the sky sublime

desperate, in need of respite
elf works as a firefly
Elven queen, she's quite a despot
sends her back into the sky

here, her brothers, many others
buzz about, each with their flare
now you know just why she bothers
as their magic fills the air

effervescent, the moon's crescent
freshly cut, a slice of lime
incandescent, iridescent
coloring the sky sublime
