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.

Forever endearing with that bit of sultry you always seem to slip in...I'm hanging on the moon :)

Aww you're sweet thanks

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i like that idea of chasing away the day---
especially if it is with someone we love...we run together in our heart.

[Lyn Anderson]

not a problem

There is something special about the 'obstinate moon' , as though she just doesn't want to give way to the rising sun. In the end the moon relents and bides her time for a few hours until she can return.Well done, Lyn.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you. I think so too.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Lyn... I have often seen the obstinate Moon in the morning... now I can relate in a poetic way ... it may be an Omen that it is a special day when you have guidance .. like a veil to shield you from the sun that burns. truly, Pat

[Lyn Anderson]

What a lovely review. Thanks

[Einstein Noodle]

love your closing ...let that obstinate moon win ..chase the day away ... just to be with "....you...." ;) smooth flowing word painting ... the emotion comfortable and the desire so relatable .. sometimes that moon hangs in there well into afternoon ... a thin veil ... but very present ... "The Obstinate Moon" will stay with me Lyn ..thanks for sharing

I made many wishes to the moon. A wonderful story in the poetry. I believe many of us had talks to the moon. Thank you Lyn for sharing the amazing poetry.

I have a bit of a fascination for the times of the year when the moon meets the sun. Thanks for indulging me
