Holiday Moon

Holiday Moon Poem

You proposed when the holiday moon

Touched the ground

Diamond ring in blushing pink

Paper cracker

It leapt forth like a shooting star

Caught on the curvature of my silver

Earring and dangled

Waterdrop in suspension.

We are drinking eggnog

Frothy, laced with delicate

Dusk of nutmeg. After I said yes

You say all you taste is me

Crystal and woodsmoke kind of gal.
