Reread the first stanza. Why does the poet capitalize Moon and plead with the moon to shine through “just one small crack”? She capitalizes Moon because it is a planet. She hopes it will shine as soon as the storm is over so her fears will disappear. She capitalizes Moon to draw attention to that word, since it is the only source of hope in the poem. She enjoys the light from the Moon. She capitalizes Moon to address it like a person so her plea will be taken more seriously. She needs this small sliver of light to rescue her from the frightening dark.
