Moon Moods (by: eddy styx)

Moon Moods (by: eddy styx)

I never liked the moon, you see
too much light, just not right for me.
the full moon reflects a patch of light
ever so painful to my eyes this night,
shining there with all its might.

oh, I never liked the moon, you know
the full moon drenches all below
makes my footsteps cautious and slow
makes my headache throb so loud
as if my head were in a thunderous cloud.

I never liked the moon so full
as I seek the shadows narrow and deep
among the shadows I don't have to crawl or creep.
for I play a game of hunt and seek
to find a maiden unaware and meek.

ah! under the moon, the black clouds gather!
on a park bench, I hear two maids blather
gossiping in the cool of the chilly night
I eagerly wait for them to part, the time is right
under the dark moon, spying my quarry, I tense and strike!

If I were you, I would choose an other word, besides [dreary].
you describe the full moon as being too bright!
Dreary means pallid, plain, banal, and all kinds of dreary stuff.
You could use [painful, bright, hard on, etc.] but not dreary!
I also wouldn't use [robust] night, maybe something like [frosty,
black ink]... other than that, you set a scene for butchery!
Nice! ~ Geez.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

really like the atmosphere this creates. I do agree with Gee about the word "dreary" but other than that this poem sits perfectly well with me & I also dislike the moon or alien spaceship that controls us!! (that's for another time).

A full moon is not for the liking of an eddy needing the darkness to stalk.
