When Christopher Howell Says Write...

...a four stanza poem where each stanza starts with "The moon" and has more than 3 stressed syllables and no more than 5 stressed syllables, you do it. This is my attempt.

I Was His Fiddle

The moon kissed me and followed me home.

Untraditional lovers met.

I didn’t want to be rude.

The moon ate all of my cereal,

burped and sat on the couch.

He was at home.

The moon led me astray

to the bedroom of my own.

No door ever held so hard.

The moon left me in quilts

sewn by my daughters.

Only darkness came through the doorway.
