Antiseptic light ebbs gracefully
Emissary from a dormant moon
Abdicating its starry pedestal
An advocate of aesthetics
Transforming even the banal and austere
Into baroque and majestic beauty
As the sun begins is ascension
The craven moonlight begins to coalesce
In deference to the copious rays
The egocentric sun emits
And in the sun's engaging way
The antiseptic moonlight is gently effaced
It's pale emulation of sunlight
Enshrouded by that which it seeks to rival
An esoteric enigma
Silently accepting its fate
As the sun elucidates
The eclectic surface that the moon caressed
Author notes
The last four lines were added on later - I've been told that they don't impact the poem greatly... any opinions on that?

Thank you so much. This poem really didn't garner much appreciation. I think it's one of my favorites though. I worked really hard on it. Just kind of a fun project with my English vocabulary words. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Bravo!!
Oh, this is really, really EXCELLENT!!!! The "big" words are great, but what is even much greater is that YOU HAVE USED THEM ALL PERFECTLY! The temptation is to rush to use these words but use them awkwardly. You have not done this. This is a wonderful poem!!!!
