Notes About The Poem

I like to personify the elements and imagine an ongoing saga in which the Moon harbors unrequited love for the Sun, who, in turn, is in love with the Earth, finding great beauty and comfort in her plants, trees, oceans, mountains and creatures. Tonight, the Moon sneaks out early to spy on the Sun as he prepares for sleep...

This little story was inspired by Prompt #3 The beauty of your loved ones

Untitled


the moon

rises early 

to watch him shed his light

and sink into the cool of the

ocean
