Thy Moon I Seek

Thy Moon I seek tonight,
                                                             Calls the wind to come to light.                                                                                                   
                                                       Blowing the words in my head 
                                              While I’m whistling as I’m ahead
                                         Of all the wild rowdy commotion
                                     Featuring the herd with its notion.                       
                                   Thy white moon I seek tonight,
                               Faces the fields to hold me tight.
                             To stop me from walking home
                           As I’m stuck in the world I roam.
                           I appreciate its hefty humble soul,
                           Tucking me tight in fields I stole.
                          Thy bright gleaming moon I seek,
                          Comes to visit me when I’m meek
                           To greet me when I’m at my worst,
                             To greet me when I’m at my best,  
                                 To listen to my language of art
                                   In the end, middle and the start
                                    Thy moon I seek tomorrow night.
                                          Will make sure I’m in his sight
                                               When I’ll visit his fruitful fields
                                                     It is the night where he shields
                                                            My twinkle twinkle little star.
                                                                         Good night. I’m going far.

i love this one. Wow, it's like the wind is puffing and blowing the moon outward like a sail, which is so cool. Congrats

Congratulations, Mark, on your 2nd place win in my GRAFFITI contest with this concrete poem in mostly rhyming couplets. The unrhymed, "To greet me when I’m at my worst,/To greet me when I’m at my best", sums up the core message to a T. I had to represent your entry in the moon shape on the winners wall (on my blog) as there was not enough space to accommodate the full poem.
