birth of the moon

Write me something inspired by this stanza

from one of my poems

 


the moon birthed
right before us
as we stared
doe-eyed at the sky
softness knotted upon
tongues longing
to touch with love
yet tied with silence

 

               ~ quote by Autumn Gypsy


Please just this once. NO RELIGION. I'm not in the mood.

Nothing longer than 20 lines

Give me something to salivate over

Thanks

Sam xx

    Alleys And Movements

    what alleys do these pictures of movement move us down
    the rain, the thunder , the grief
    bellowing loudly from behind the wall of the brokenness
    comes only one sound,
    thunder.
    And it falls upon the footsteps of the children in those other world streets
    begging for change, as though that's relief
    their drawn brown sneakers echo upon the pavement
    dripping black,
    crumbling grey,
    numbingly transcendental
    what relief is found with the lining of pockets,
    it's more truly the pie that in the window, is resting
    rather, it's the apples that are lying inside
    the aroma, sweet, cinnamon, warm
    calls out to us who are waiting aside

    Cornbread relief falls from the hands of the authorities
    though hidden inside, what notion does it reprieve
    the weakness buckles the knees of the poor man
    fall'n on the twisted dirt of societal rage
    Alarmingly, he's sped forward

    crept, went aside.

    And then there are soundclips of movement that lift us

    we hear of foundations being formed
    and a basis that begins that start
    as though a seed, are we fully alert
    the treestump cuts through the grass at your feet
    and you are climbing slowly through the gravel that's encasing
    around pours the glass mold that divides society to where it is
    and through all of the moments of the lightest fluorescence

    what can come to possess what it is that we know
    what is it that we can trace from the soul

    and so the crumbling noises catch within the eyes of the bird's misdrawn beak
    the cats aside, all paired in twos, the two sit in the heatless metal cabin that encases them in

    in the inevitability we rise.

      This is very good but you need to enter it into the contest to be considered for judging and also it is more than the allowed 20 lines
