The Web Poetry Corner - Doug Larson - Starlight and Moonrocks

Starlight and Moonrocks

by

Doug Larson

Once
the moon was new
and the stars ruled
the night
the moon
slivered slyly
and the sky
was alive
Then the greedy moon
slivered full
round
plump with light
and stole
the night
and the glittering stars
disappeared
from view
and the moon withered
and quivered
and slivered shut
new again
In time
the clouds will clear
and the stars
will shine
and the moon will sliver
once more
slyly
After all
It’s just a phase
it’s going through
and it’s always the starlit sky
that the sailor trusts
to guide him
home

NEXT?
Why don't you look at May you
