Whining Moon

...tired...weary...bitter....

I would

Destroy

The earth

If I

 

Could.

I would

Erase her

From

 

The sky.

For I

Am moon-

Tired

 

Of being

Forgotten,

Weary

Of being

 

Ignored,

Bitter

In my

Barrenness.

 

I have

Waxed

This way

Before-

 

Poeticized

My angst.

Do you

Long

 

For my

Silence?

Don’t worry.

Tomorrow

 

I am

A sliver,

Barely there.

You’ll not

 

Miss me.

How can I

Expect

Your favor?

 

What is

An opal

When you

Could have

 

Sapphire?

What is

Another

When you

 

Could have

Life?

This is quite lovely..so descriptive and beautiful

[Mariah Jane]

I don't know that I need to add anything to this. It was beautifully written and very solid in its meanings. Great job conveying your feelings so poetically! 2 thumbs up!

[Caitlin Lea]

Thank you so very much for reading it and appreciating it. You are very lovely! :D

[Sarah LaMascus]

This one probably has the best flow and breaks that I've read so far! I like the "waxed this way before" line A LOT. Well done beautiful girl :)

[Caitlin Lea]

Thank you! That is one of my favorite lines, too. :)

[Sarah LaMascus]

I bet if you performed it you'd have a lot of conviction and it would be a great thing to watch. :)

[Caitlin Lea]

Definitely! This one is sort of passionate, angry, and sad...there's a lot of emotion to be conveyed here.

[Sarah LaMascus]

My thoughts exactly:)

[zainul]

Wonderful write.
Enjoyed reading.

[Caitlin Lea]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

[zainul]

You are welcome.

I'd really be curious to hear how you read these. I feel half of the power of poetry comes from how it was intended to sound. I really liked this, interesting style once again.

[Caitlin Lea]

I agree that much can be gained from hearing a poem out loud. Too bad this site doesn't yet have that as an option.... Thanks again for your attention!
