The Obnoxious Moon

Submitted by Jackweb on Thu, 2022-02-03 20:54

This murderous lonely moon
seldom shines in the noon

you have left your habitat
now sitting on our head tight

like a reckless culprit
unveiling his wit

we're not afraid, if you arise
like a lioness that slice

for we have survived the torture
of the sun set when things rupture

look at you, the obnoxious little brat
a dash light only once in awhile act

do you think we can never survive without
whether thy light shine or not we standout

The moon does not always represent romance. It can be a harbinger of doom at times. It's refreshing to read unexpected ides put into poetic form!

there must be a legend or proverb connected with this one. Superstition can be a powerful force in the lives of some people.
Very interesting to see something of the sort from another country. ~ Geezer.
