I'm having a sit in
Truth-
fully
A sit out-
side
Watch-
ing
Moon
Ride its orbital string
Above me
And enjoy the mystery
To see if clouds
Spin gossamer glow
Just so
Or if it will be
Just me
The moon and inky
Sky
A cricket or two
Sawing serrated wings
To woo
Just like me
And you
Let's be round
Glide slow
And enjoy the glow
This is offered for Alan's lovely prompt at poetryjaam.blogspot. com to write about the moon and for Susan at Poets United poetryblogroll.blogspot.com who asked for a public protest. I stretched that a bit, but I do protest the speed of life. Need to take time and enjoy the glow :-)
Sara, I will join you in participating in this sit-in. Sitting outside just to watch the moon sounds like a delightful thing to do on a warm June night!
ReplyDeleteGoing more slowly and taking in the moon and its glow sounds like a great idea to me!
ReplyDeleteSit-in, applied this way does work to slow time as if you were tying an anchor to the moon. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of a sit-in, Sara, just slowing down the pace of life. I am certain you will not alone enjoying the quietness of the moon.
ReplyDeletelovely heart warming light poem:)
ReplyDeleteGosh, you know you are lucky that you can just sit and stare. I am far too restless and can't remember the last time I sat, juts sitting, outside nor in. Sunbathing, or even Moonbathing is totally outside my scope. Pity, I might learn something. Liked this interlude, or even 'interlune' :-)
ReplyDeletei like the feeling of peace in this....of just sitting and enjoying the glow....we used to do more of that when i was younger...and now we do more again....
ReplyDeletejust sitting and enjoying each moment...lovely
ReplyDeleteNot a stretch at all..a beautiful reflection of how the world around us both harmonises and jars..wonderful imagery and feeling in this piece..like we are there too
ReplyDeleteLove it very much! 'Spin gossamer glow' ~ my faves. ~ I'm with you on slowness and enjoying the life. :)xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by for a visit.
I LOVE the idea of a sit-in - or out - to admire the moon and protest the fast pace of life. This is brilliant!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe chirping of crickets and the glow of moon. You have your priorities right. Enjoyed your lovely poem.
ReplyDeleteThis is a delightful bit of whimsy and levity, Sara - with some elegant wordsmithing, to boot. As I have gotten older, I find that I, too, have taken to protesting the speed of life. Smiles.
ReplyDeletecrickets..the moon and clouds spinning gossamer glow... there is a beautiful magic to this sara
ReplyDeleteHey. I'll join this sit-in, too --- a beautiful place to do that! I enjoyed this so much!
ReplyDeleteOh i'm basking in that moon glow,
ReplyDeleteMuch love...
ah the moon so beautiful in her silent reverie. I think silence and beauty is something we can very well protest for
ReplyDeleteThe moon has been so lucky for millenia with all her admirers. With all of life's pressures it is great to time out and commune with the moon as you have done.
ReplyDeleteYes...enjoy the magic!
ReplyDeletei love the sitting and enjoying the glow, resting in its beauty.
ReplyDeleteLovely, Sara!! This poem invites you to step right in and savor the evening. AND the full moon will be out at the end of this week -- perfect timing! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi Pam! Wow, thank you very much! I do love that full moon :-)
DeleteSara, so glad to see you comment at my blog. I appreciate everyone's patience in my coming over!
ReplyDeleteYour poem was strung down the page like a string of luscious pearls. You are right about the taking time to love life. Also, your choice of hyphens made this perfectly whimsical. BRILL! Thanks for the smiles. Amy
Hi Amy! Thank you! Always wonderful to see you :-)
