the obstinate moon

a little ditty

the obstinate moon 

rests in sky so blue

can't help it baby,

it reminds of you --

smiling smugly

at the rising sun

attempting to

push through

the morning pink --

and wishing

you were here 

with me

to chase 

away

the day.

An unyielding lunar influence can indeed create thoughts of poetic yearnings; as clearly encapsulated within the stanzas of your wonderful write - brovo ... :-)

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you for your kind review

[emmajoy]

The moon shines for lovers, Lyn.. reminding us that though it might not always display, tis there.. always.. night and day - somewhere. Your words defy criticism.. this poem is beautiful.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you kindly

Another sure win from the pen of Lyn! ; )
There's nothin' like a stubborn ol' moon battling it out with daylight, trying to last all day … conspiring with two lovers to rob the sun from its due, just to keep them entranced in the notion of gazing together at Luna when so far apart; yet, so close in their hearts and nighttime dreams.

Love the perfect picture and song choices … simply an altogether lovely piece.
Thank you ever-so warmly for sharing You with Us, Dear Lyn ⁓ Richard 🌟

I should bloomin think so, I have just been so busy my end :)

I love all moon writes and this is definitely no exception. This is relatable too in a way..wishing for a loved one to be there to make the day seem shorter. ..
The imagery in the opening stanza made me smile, esp. that of the moon smiling smugly at the rising sun ;)

[Lyn Anderson]

Oh thank you. I am definitely a fan of the fall and spring when the moon and sun battle it out here. I remember living closer to the equator where the difference between night and day was so much more dramatic and abrupt.
