Lemon painted moon

by Ria   Aug 17, 2008


We took some thread with short pale fingers
And we cross-stitched the moon to place
We gave it a tail and made it look
kind of like a small balloon
Too high to reach, too close now to ignore

We took some lemon juice
and blew up wards with a straw
And yellow paint now settled on our stitchery
We watched it every night glow
And as we slept we knew,
that smell had something of our wizardry

I still don't know where lemon goes
On nights without full moon
Maybe it drips back down on us
Back in the straw
Back in our mouth
Maybe life as paint wasn't what it dreamt about

But bear with me my lemon juice
And stay within my pricking
And use the tail once in a while
As you journey through the sky
To come back down, maybe say hi,
Or maybe see me breaking

    Umm, well the flow was good and the wording is different. It isn't the easiest to understand though, changing some of the words might help with that. Other then that it is a great poem. 5/5
