984


THAT MOON 

Shining through, the lonely lady of night

Like a cyclops, sees

Every indecent proposal

Posted to a disgusted face.


Under the cherry moon, one bright

Spring night, she tossed a rose

To the heap awaiting garbage disposal.

You see it was a case


Of unrequited love; how wrong so right,

There the meaningless token,

Awakening no arousal

Of appreciation for a vase,


Was cast away out of her sight.

Cocktail breathed a sigh of relief,

The color of night was lethal,

An assault of sensitivities at base.


Fifty shades of grey just might

Be, the perfect hue of that moon global.

    Excellent job with the titles - sometimes you have to toss that rose.

    Very nicely done, Gillena! I love moon poems and you’ve captured that cyclops moon her so well. She may seem lonely but, as you say, she sees everything, and I’m sure she has some fun with the stars and other planets. I applaud the use of the film title in the final lines.
