Sandra Haight Poet Free verse

Notes About The Poem

Moon Spoon

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.
