Pink Moon
April 17, 20210 Comments

the moon
rose

by any other name

blushes big
on the horizon's cheek

like a  libertine  lazing in post coital bliss

Shattered 
crystal
beneath
her webbed winter shoes
each step
echoing
over nibs and tips

a blade
red
with want
glistening in her hand

Her voice
trembles
and
cracks
as she cries out

Please 
come back

dive
 down
low
into her depths

Take a gander
at the gilded bloom
lain before you

 she sucks
her mouth
soft and wet

Make the sugar
melt

you know
the way

Paschal Moon
April 07, 2020 3 Comments

Easter
that moveable feast
follows the first
full moon
after the first day 
of Spring

like the eager children
in their Sunday best
scurrying about
a sweet scavenger hunt
gathering colored eggs
and copious candies

Us?
Well
We played War
at my grandparent's house
on Snake Pond
Easter Sunday
after the squirmy service
with its coin races 
along the pew

Smash your cornflower blue best 
onto
another's
hapless sunflower yellow orb
held tight in their grip
like tradition

The one whose egg
remained unbroken
wins

and on and on it goes
gorging
 salted stained
hardboiled
eggs
all day long

Indeed
a moveable
feast



NaPoWriMo  Day 7

*Farmer's Almanac - Easter is observed on the Sunday following the Paschal Full Moon, which is the first Full Moon that occurs on or after the March equinox.
