I wrote these as individual exercises of the Flamenca poetic form, just for fun. I actually like them in a cohesive group like this. What do you think?
When I sit in the dark Contemplating the moon I don't see the stars Spattered across the sky But I see the dull roofs. When I sit in the dark Contemplating the moon I see all the stars Flecked on their black velvet Like a fawn of the woods. When I sit in the dark Contemplating the moon I think of the stars And search through my wishes, Ask the moon for a boon. When I sit in the dark Contemplating the moon I think of the cow, The cat and her fiddle, And wish I had a spoon.
