The moon's a patch of moss
come loose among the drifting stars -
which autumn, in her wisdom,
does not show.

Hmm... the idea for this poem seems to have drifted as much as the moon. It doesn't really do much for me this one, Lykren. I can't really follow the 'moon as moss' metaphor; and was a bit unsure of the rhythm, but I notice how the last two lines are effectively one broken line of iambic pentameter, so that reads more smoothly.

(And the first line is trimeter; the second tetrameter...)

Thanks blankverse, didn't notice that about the rhythm.
