I’m prompt-free today, but…

Compulsion
I had to write.
I had to write a moon;
had to write a moon poem;
had to write a poem about the moon
because
I’m full of moon tonight
and tonight the moon is full
and I’m out here, standing, alone,
staring up at the fullest moon
and it’s cold as hell and
I’m well below zero
frozen solid
because
you’re not here
beside me
tonight
Tonight there’s a moon
but I’m full of empty
without you
My absolute favourite poem of yours this NaPoWriMo, Ron. Oh to be full of moon! But not alone.
Really enjoyed this one, especially the “full of empty” part.
I love it!
Very clever. But evocative too.
