moonglow: small poems, by zee zahava
lonely moon
i know a heron who would
welcome you into her nest
sleepy moon
i crocheted an afghan
for you to snuggle under
ballet moon
utterly adorable
in your tangerine tutu
shakespearean moon
surely it is better to be
than not to be
bear moon
i'm all out of honey
but please come for tea anyway
laughing moon
i love the way
your belly rises and falls
haiku moon
each syllable
brings me closer to you
walking moon
in your brand new sneakers
i can hardly keep up with you
patient moon
inching toward you . . .
your friend the spider
upside-down moon
now the rivers don't know if
they're coming or going
nearsighted moon
how often have you mistaken
dustballs for dragons?
matchmaker moon
what a brilliant introduction —
bee, meet flower
insomnia moon
when you can't sleep
do you count stars?
old woman moon
still looking through
young woman eyes
rebel moon
breaking all the rules
you make for yourself
traveling moon
how is it possible
you missed your train . . . again
forgetful moon
may I suggest
mnemonics
possessive moon
you'd have more friends
if you shared your pretty marbles
brave moon
you stood up for me
i'll do the same for you
fashionista moon
on you
the hot pink feather boa is divine
yoga moon
perhaps you've been standing on your head
long enough
mango moon
impossible
to get enough of you
disheveled moon
you look like you were tossed around
by your dreams last night
thrifty moon
shopping with you isn't as much fun
as i thought it would be
bronx moon
i'm sorry to have to say this . . .
you can't go home again
grieving moon
countless waves
carry your tears away
tango moon
claiming the horizon
as your own private ballroom
worn-out moon
now is the time
to sink into a lavender bubble bath
curious moon
go right ahead
ask me anything
hula hoop moon
spinning spring
into summer
new moon
take a flashlight
the next time you go to the outhouse
no-poem moon
all i can do is love you
there are no words
roller skating moon
who would have thought you could be
so graceful on wheels
turtle moon
leave your shell on the sandy shore
let's go skinny dipping
purple moon
i almost mistook you
for a field of irises
zen moon
i dropped by to help you
rake your rock garden
cautious moon
you must be weary
sleeping with one eye open
mother moon
i think of you each year
at lilac time
ice cream moon
not everyone can handle 3 scoops
but you can
garden moon
thank you for reminding me . . .
nobody owns the flowers
summer solstice moon
longest night of the year . . .
let's play hide and seek in the dark
full moon
when you feel shy
come hide behind my curtain
flirtatious moon
there you are
playing footsie with the stars
rejuvenating moon
when i feel old and tired
i look for you
bewitching moon
the window shades refused
to shut you out last night
pen-pal moon
after all these years
i still can't read your handwriting
midnight moon
we're both still awake
come down and snuggle
stay-at-home moon
put your feet up
have another cup of cocoa
