June moon
Mandibles Shadow
SpoilerThis song is about the marvelous merits of reading and writing escapist fiction. In this case, the narrator takes her inspiration from the early summer moon.
Regarding the challenge, there are no perfect end rhymes; however I did endeavor to make the end of each verse rhyme perfectly (or nearly) with a word at the beginning of the next line. There are no rhyming couplets, but the chorus is a pair of slant rhyming tercets with a coda line tacked on at the end.

My mother says it’s only a phase
Gazing into space with wistful sigh
But I’ve always known I want to be brave
Unwavering in the face of time

And I’m busting out all over
The rover’s tale entraps my mind
In a kind of sly composure
Whose closure fills a life sublime

Chorus
I will make my escape on the edge of a page
Flying over alleyways of black ink on beige
The summer sky will help me to evade
The everyday type of ennui that disdains
The sorrows, excitements, and rages exclaimed
By my heart in the dark twixt the stories I’ve made,
Oh! What stories I’ve made!

My interests never seem to wane;
Contained within, these stories hold the world
Curled in glory and in blame
Unnamed throngs in a single girl

Each thought a pearl of long sought genius,
A dreamless breadth that will excite
Delightful plots that got between this
Kiss of inspiration’s strike

Chorus

‘Soon, soon,’ says the strawberry moon
‘No doubt nor torment holds you child,
Nor your wild sense of dreaming.

Your fantasies of poetries
Could fill a thousand mystic isles;
Their smiles shall abate your keening.’

Chorus
