well...to say the truth,I'm really scared to see so many scholars here,all flashing their talents every now and then.don't know if I should dare to put something in here...lets just give it a try.
Moon-struck
Moon-struck me
had forgotten for a while
the fossiled gloom
of precious mankind.
come stars,breathe for me
tonight.

Yes, very nice.
I'm in love with The Vinegar Man and Mr. Tanner, but be careful, it could just as easily be you.

This is a lovely poem too.
Saffron rice
Very nice
Chocolate cake
No heartbreak
Drank my water, paid the check.
She was gone. Well, what the heck?
se non e vero, e molto ben'trovato
Indeed a very touching poem. Here's one of mine too, about the Moon:
His Moon
Raise the veil, behold
His Moon
Too close to
Overlook her deep sorrow
Usurping her brow
Too far to
Reach her heavenly landscape
Confirming a pallid hope
This is very lovely too!
There is no polite way
of being happy
Richard Aldington wrote a wonderful short poem about the moon which goes :
Evening
The chimneys, rank on rank,
Cut the clear sky;
The moon,
With a rag of gauze about her loins
Poses among them, an awkward Venus -
And here am I looking wantonly at her
Over the kitchen sink.

Sticking with the moon theme:
The
moon hangs,
a silver cup
low on the horizon.
Night drips in, heavy
with longing as the stars
slip with abandon
from its
grasp.
Pie In the Sky
I'll just have that little sliver,
the one on the indigo plate.
Please! No accusations
about my big eyes!

Thanks to all of you! You ppl really know how to encourage a new person in here!
From leaf to leaf
they drip down deep,
one after another,
forming a pool tranquil,
that swells steadily inside...
with blissful eternal streams.
And leave me saturated,
the drops of ethereal mirth.
The fashionable people are here
Now
And what is most important to them is a sense of the
Now
which they are eagerly awaiting
Now
now let's not fail to disappoint them
Well, just received
that plastic animal thing
you ordered for us in the post
Guys at the meat rack
grimly intent on bagging
a bit of skirt
oh that this tutu solid flesh should melt
you are gone
and I'm alone
except
for the part
of your soul
that is always
within me

I'll contribute an old one in the name of the moon:
The slender moon hasn’t seen
A softer night, or lovelier dream.
Tonight she wears a tangerine coat,
Phthalo hat, and diamond brooch.
"Don't matter who they are, anybody sets foot in this house, they are company and don't let me catch you remarking on their ways like you were so high and mighty."
Oh! I like this very much.

For motherhubbard
I wish you would come and visit.
Bring babies and I’ll make coffee
and just let them play.
We could talk about everyone
who is not here and have a
laugh and enjoy our time together.
I’ll make some lunch and we’ll have a cookie.
I won’t be the mom and you won’t be the baby.
But we’ll be friends who love each other
And laugh and enjoy our time together.
