Selenotropism ... Irresistible

Today's word is "selenotropism" ... si-lee-nuh-TROH-piz-uh m ... Biology. growth in response to moonlight. (Dictionary.com)

Irresistible
Is there a man inside the moon?
Someone who calls to creatures here?
Selenotropic plants reach up,
Hoping to bring its moonbeams near.

This is a moonish mystery,
Or a fantasy, some would say,
But little plants do upward turn,
And by the moonlight dance and play.
