About My Poem 'Memory from Moonlight'
I wrote this poem during the year a wrote a poem a day, from April 2010 to April 2011. To keep the challenge "fresh" I would take up various other caveats. This time around it was to write a poem with the word "moon" in it for a month.
I mean, I'm a Cancer. We are indelibly tethered to the Moon, so of course I must write poems about it.
I was dating someone who seemed nice at the time (kinda boring and not as conscientious and nice as he seemed it later turned out, alas--that's always the way!) and we'd made out a bunch. I also used my favorite John Wieners poetry word: pajamas. But I used the British spelling, because it's more fun to say, "pyjamas," than the American spelling.
And there you have it. That's how this poem was born. I like it's sing-song rhythm and then how it sort of spins out of its order towards the end, like emotions do.
