Envious Moon
Destined for darkness
Everlasting it seems.
Clouding the world in hollow darkness.
Longing to devour a lantern brighter.
Infinitely envious while
pirating light.
Sequestered to the night with no audience.
Embracing the majesty of the day, even if for a moment.

His Haibun
He does not like poetry; I write it anyway and do not tell him. It's true his face is not a poet's face. It is round and open, youthful; too apt to be compared to the sun. His nose is neat. It is impossible to imagine him smoking a cigarette, terse, full of cheekbones and tension. His warmth burns my fingertips. I am here for his fascinating body, the haphazard freckles I touch one by one; he is here for my eyes, just my eyes. A sunbeam sneaks through the curtains and pierces us both, sizzling the spices of his skin. I inhale and wrap myself in him. He kisses my eyes.

Confessions of an Empath
The birds are chirping, and the sun is shining in a cloudless July sky. The vibrancy promises a beautiful day, but the cooing of the Mourning Dove perched on the powerlines seems to be more fitting than the lively songs of the robin flitting through the trees. The melancholic calls of the dove cloak the world in a sadness that hangs like tattered drapes.

Love the way this is written. Keep up the good work
I love your poem, "Sequestered to the night with no audience" is a great line!
The bards are turning over in their graves...new bards are making their lights dim. Beautiful. Congrats.

Congratulations 🎉🎉 for top story that was very interesting and important information
"Sequestered to the night with no audience." What a stunning line! Congrats on the top story!
I like how this piece explores the contrast between sun and moon, and how darkness temporarily takes the place of light in the day. Personifying makes these objects and concepts more alive, and “Longing to devour a lantern brighter.” is a wonderful piece of imagery Mohammed😊
