Full Breasted Moon
by Jane E PearceWhen the moon rises
with a full breast,
and eyelids surrender
as the pillow is pressed,
time rolls back
to a ragtime tune,
that hung from the trees
under a full breasted moon.
The shadows of leaves,
so idle before,
dance to the rhythm
along the shore
when time stood still
behind yesterday's door.
Memories are cloaked
in a ragtime tune,
that plays over and over
under a full breasted moon. 04/14/2003 Author's Note: Charleston anyone???

Reading this I could have sworn I was sitting under a delta moonrise, Poplar leaves whispering in shadow, warm breezes caressing...Absolutely wonderful POTD!!! |
