Moon Sijo by Maureen GlaudeOh, tonights majestic moon, your mouths O mirrors my shock.
Oh, I would draw you down, to his perpetual sick bed
if only I could sneak you past the nursing station.

Author's Note: my first Sijo attempt. We're learning these in poetry class now. They are a much older form than haiku and tanka, and a little different.
