Hi 😊
How are you all this weekend?
I was glad it was quite a simple prompt that napowrimo.net set, as I had lots to do:
Today, I’d like to challenge you to stop fighting the moon. Lean in. Accept the moon. The moon just wants what’s best for you and your poems. So yes – write a poem that is about, or that involves, the moon.
I saw in the comments of the prompt that it is actually National Haiku Day too, so I took that as a nudge towards extra brevity!
Here is my first offering:
A reflected moon
pulls tides of tears from my eyes.
We’ll wane together.
then a second one asked to be formed:
His waxed moon, over
the rim of the packed rock stage,
induced lunacy.
And with that, my pencil became still 😉
I got caught up in furniture construction and rearranging for hours, so I apologise that this post has gone up much later than planned!
Take care and I’ll catch you tomorrow,
Monty X

I like them both but think the first one is especially good. Well done.

Is that because the first doesn’t quite “bottom out” like the second?! Ha ha!
Thank you X
