Moon pulls me ...

Inspired.

The moon pulls me,

​ 

as ripples of water flow through

​. 

​

Words form in my mind, 

stumbling forward

​,​

​ ​

I screw my eyes

​,​

 

as an array of sentences crash through

​ 

​... c

ollapsing, the moon pulls me 

​in deeper, 

the memories I held back 

come toppling over one another, 

swaying a little, 

I give in, 

the attraction's too much, 

I lock my glance ~ mesmerized ... 

by the beauty it holds, 

and in that very moment --

beautiful words arrange themselves; 

on the heavenly sky --- 

a poem ~ is formed ...

Thank you, J Todd Underhill, for airing my little piece :)

Lucky I found this in my reading list, since I won't be able to access your poetry for now. This is a great poem to read on the morning after a full harvest moon! I'm so sorry to see that you are feeling less-than-best & needing a break from the cafe for a bit. Hope you feel better & return to us someday. We always miss you when you're gone (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Such a beautiful way to express how the night brings out the feelings embedded deep within our hearts.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you so much for your lovely words here and for appreciating :)

The moon and the muse often call in tandem. The moon pulls lime the tides, ""swaying a little, I give in...a poem is formed." Lovely, ethereal imagery. Delicate and rhythmic flow, like silk. Stunning poem.

Thank you, Annette. I appreciate your lovely words here :))

[Carol Cashes]

This is a very poetic way of describing feelings as if they were waves subject to the Moon and its phases.
I enjoyed this - Good job.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

A beautiful pull the Earth does to the moon, to sync in such a perfect rotation!

* Btw, attractions (attraction's) apostrophe

[Dr. YumnaKay]

That it does :)
Oops yeah, you got that right. Thank you for that 😊

Nature can inspire love, music, poetry and a great many other things. Love how the moon has captivated you and convinced you to write a poem about her

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Haha oh my, it would be a he that I'd write for 'cause I'm a female ;)
Thank you. Yes, I agree. Too many things to get inspired from. I appreciate your words here 😊

[Poetic Beauty]

I always see the moon as female for some reason I guess cause of the word Luna. I am a woman as well.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Ah okay, I get it :)
And yeah I know that :))

[Poetic Beauty]

Sorry I have a very unique way of thinking sometimes.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

That's cool! I'll have to get used to it ;) :)
