Talking to a Restless Moon
On this scorching afternoon I spoke to a restless moon He said, “The sky’s blue balloon has been treacherously harpooned by a scary orange buffoon who openly sucks on his own dirty silver spoon and be warned, no one is immune”
Since then, I’ve been lying low But soon I’ll need to leave my hot bungalow And fly forward to a safer and cooler tomorrow

Note:My poem is a “Horatian Ode” * A Horatian ode is a lyrical poem that expresses personal feelings or thoughts, often characterized by a calm and reflective tone. It typically follows a structured form and addresses philosophical themes such as love, nature, and morality, drawing inspiration from the works of the Roman poet Horace. This type of ode is known for its musicality and balance, making it distinct from other forms like the Pindaric ode.
Today’s Throwback Friday poem was written in May 2020.
Togetherness
I remember Bringing you two into my house And quietly I sat with you Upon my courtyard bench You were both Dry and lifeless
I lovingly prepared your beds And gently tucked you two in Wishing you a bright and prosperous future Under my watchful eye Together you flourished and adorned my home And together your arms reached out Embracing each other Now, we live here together as one
Day one of no regrets For two thousand and twenty-five My celebratory sunset Contrives to stay alive Blessing the twilight sky With clouds of golden knives That stunningly silhouetted The hovering magpies
