Poet moon, or: A soul softly

‘Poet moon’, a poem by Rob Kistner of ‘Image & Verse’

Ride the moon
light the poet’s lamp
explore the secret realm of rhyme

ride the moon
to seek the magic
that glistens there

like stardust
in the folds of time

A Cherita by ben Alexander of ‘The Skeptic’s Kaddish’

A spell sought in silvered darkness

A swing sighted,
suspended on moonbeams

A soul softly
ascends 
through stardust

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

–Ben Harper (b. 1969)

  3. I can’t think of many things I enjoy more than poetry about the moon. It’s such a fertile and magical subject for poetry. Both poems here are so well penned and brim with beautiful imagery. Kudos to both of you, Rob and David. 🙂
