Moon Spoon


In high school, I met
my sweetheart, 
and together, 
we followed our dream  
to romance that turned into love.
When school ended,
he joined the Marines.

We fed our sweet love 
every day
with letters and pictures by mail.
Our hearts stayed as one 
by that dart
which dear cupid 
implanted so well.

Together, at nine,
every night,
miles apart, 'neath our Moon, 
we would meet.
In her light of romantic glow,
we'd spoon love 
to each other's lone heart.

Such fresh, innocent, youthful love you've deftly portrayed! Does it exist anymore? ---Maybe in the small towns and villages. Sure hope so. It's the pulse of the world. Great winner, Sandra! :) Gershon

Thank you, Gershon, for your visit and for reading my poem. Yes, this happened in the late '50s...a different time when life was much simpler! No cell phones, no texts, no emails...all we had was the US Post Office looking at the Moon together!!! Sandra :):)
