Marmalade moon, fading by dawn's light
Allay our fears in these fig-shaped hearts
Garnish with herbs, root spices, sea salt
Impaled stones, melt to mirrors of light
Cake our way with berries, ripe with stardust

A beautiful job on this acrostic poem - a form I have not yet tried ... though, this piece tempts me to 'toe into' those magical poetic waters.
ReplyDeleteI saw that moon and was glad for it.
