Gourmand night

oh foul gourmand night,

your shades have such an appetite;

savagely chewing bites

from our hoary moon.

oh my bitten moon,

you shan't grieve,

 your pale crescent is our relief

with milky beams of yours,

you solace the tumultuous roars

of an old man's wars.

Nice poem, well composed............

[C. Rose]

Well done.
I enjoyed the concept of the mean hungry night eating away at the beloved moon.
"lame" felt off in my opinion.
Favorite lines:
savagely chewing bites, of an old man's wars.

you can never go wrong with the moon and dark skies, there is dark crisp in your words and the coldness that instantly chill your spine...

You make me fall in love with dark, again, with a new light.
It is simply beautiful poetry.

thank you Namrata

[Ashira Macy]

Beautiful and surprisingly dark. Often when people write of the nighttime it is more of beauty, but there is some resentment in your words it seems, Well done.

Lovely write. Remember the moon may diminish, but ever to be reborn. Never to be devoured by the night!
