Moon needs music,
recalling in honey’d language
like smooth chocolate
the sea symphony she wants still,
watching with sweet crush
shining beauty from above,
over dreams–
there–
in purple shadow time

A poem for the full moon. The Oracle was not in the mood for poetry yesterday, but she came through today.

What fun! I have these also 😃
Thanks! I have some at home, but this was from the online version: https://magneticpoetry.com/pages/play-online
Wow! Didn’t know they had ‘themes’… pretty cool!
It’s fun. Another blogger–who has vanished–used to do a Saturday Magnetic Poetry Challenge.
“…in purple shadow time” Ooooh! I love that. A perfect description of the time just before dawn or just after dusk, when the moon is rising or setting.
Beautiful arrangement of the oracle’s words, Merril. 🙂
Thanks so much, Robin. I was frustrated yesterday. The Oracle just was not in the mood. 🙂
I like having the dual natural elements in this poem, Merril. The moon’s “crush” and falling for the rhythmic waves music were such sweet parts.
Their symbiotic relationship seems so appropriate since one lives in the sky which touches the sea’s edge on the horizon.
I hadn’t even thought of them meeting at the horizon, Robin. Thanks for that! I was kind of thinking about gods in mythology.
Oh, the gods in mythology are great ways to include in poetry with anthropomorphism. 🙂
🙂
This. Is beautiful Merril!
Thank you, Holly! The Oracle finally came through. 🙂
❤
The moon and magic. Always. (K)
Thanks, Kerfe. 🙂
I love Robin’s comments! Lovely, Merril. I didn’t realize this was an online program.
Thank you, Luanne. Yes, it’s fun to play with this online. I think they need to update the words though. 🙂
Why? Is it that you’re getting the same words over and over?
Yes, each collection seems to have a fixed set of words. They come up in different combinations, but I’ve been looking at them for a few months. 🙂
Oh, that would be annoying to me. I do like “constraints” though in writing, as a general rule.
Well, there are various combinations still, and you can play around with the different sets. You could always pick a few words as prompt words.
After reading your words describing the Moon (honey’d, chocolate), I want to taste it!
Hahaha. Thanks, Rose.
