Strangled critics turn blue and bounce away.
White cat on the sun side, black on the dark.
It's all avec fromage at restaurants.
She can spend all day on a roundelay,
and next to nothing on a place to park.
On the Moon, a girl can dress as she please--
skirt to her ankles, her hips, her knees.
Moon ring, moon pendant, moon necklace, moon cuff.
Black leggings with five-pointed stars and stuff.
She is Queen of seas that hold no water,
and boats with sails that nonetheless brought her.
On the Moon a girl can swing side to side
in a silver hammock to charm the tide.

A silly sonnet for your Monday.
I love this. You know the Moon and I have had a thing going on for a long time now--but I don't mind sharing. In my Mother's Moon are many hammocks.;_) A sonnet that shines silver light.
ReplyDeleteThe moon sounds like a wonderful place.. and I don't mind being excluded.. I will have to find my own place to dress as I want.
ReplyDeleteAh, lovely. A really sweet poem--just terrific and as Hedge says silvery, with hints of june, spoon and tunefulness as well. k.

Great jewelry!
ReplyDeleteA girl's night out on the moon would be great fun, I think.
I've been lucky to find a fellow who makes me feel as if I've flown to the moon. He lets me do things as I like and doesn't criticize, and I do the same for him. We must be doing it right as we've just celebrated thirteen years of marriage.
Thanks so much for visiting us at poetryofthenetherworld.blogspot.com
I love it! Whimsical, beautiful, free.
ReplyDeleteA girl should visit the moon every chance she gets. This is a great Monday sonnet, even though I didn't get to it until Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't help wondering:
Would you like to swing on a star,
carry moonbeams home in a jar,
and be better off than you are...
luv the freedom of moon existence
ReplyDeleteMonday WRites 26
much love...
So wonderful. Oh that I could be Queen of the Moon, or at least Queen of Outer Space.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to wander around the moon dressed like that - sounds lovely!
