Moonstruck

For the Algonquin, June
brings the Strawberry Moon;
other names are equally
sweet.

A Honey Moon is a
Hot Moon, a romantic
as a Rose Moon
and yes, indeed, a Planting Moon.

For the writer one Moon
brings inspiration: soon,
other words are inking the
sheet.

A vellum sheet is a
cruel sheet, as blameless
as a Bride's sheet,
an open yet unwritten sheet.

For lovers every any-tune
plays romantic notes like moon
to change the heart's arrhythmic
beat.

A heart's beat is a
hot beat, a feverish
and a fast beat,
but still, a secret, yearning beat.
