I am "The Moon"

by David Todd   Jul 4, 2012


I am the Moon
Full big and bright
I will be lassoed soon.
Perhaps tonight...
By some crazed love struck man.
He has told his lover
it's the most difficult task.
Little does he know ... it's not so hard
If he would just ask.
To earth I will be drawn.
Sometime before dawn.
To let his love touch me for real
I don't mind... I'm flattered
Perhaps a kiss I may steal.
From this beautiful woman of his.

    I was a little confused by this poem. The way I read it it appears the man is pulling in the moon for his girl to feel up! lol. Although I am not sure that was your intention. That said the first four lines I understand but after that is where miscommunication is off. I like the rhyming you do in this ( and I'm not a rhyming gal!) Work on what it is you are trying to say and edit, edit and edit again. I didn't edit my poems for such a long time. I thought if my words were put on paper from God they were sacred. I no longer look at it that way. I write everything I want to say in longhand and then I start taking out anything that is not supporting the poem, anything that makes it too wordy and anything that is redundant. It also helps to read the poem aloud. I find alot of errors like that because speaking something forces you to listen to the flow of the words. I enjoyed the read.
