A Rispetto

Awake

Again the moon and I shall share
the velvet dark of starlit night
beneath the shining heavens, where
the moon shall shed her silvered light.

The world below my moon is still,
and all around me slumbers, till
the naked bright of frosty day
shall send my friend the moon away.

I admire your skill in depicting this scene of tranquil insomnia. I think a lot of poets find the sleeping hours the best time to write.

If only more people could pack so much into so few lines! The way you have run lines on is masterly and (with your skill) not obtrusive or excessive.

I adore this form and your silver-tongued touch does it every justice, Kate - melliflous and exquisite. :)
