Dear Full Moon
October 5, 2025, was a full moon
Dear Full Moon
Some will swoon
I was hoping by noon
you will be a balloon
nothing more than a halfmoon
~
Atleast every third moon
like it was this fullmoon
I could tell two days before
I would be affected even more
than I had hoped for.
~
Law enforcement knows
In hospital ERs, it shows
Mental health crisis centers know
what certain full moons will show
It was my turn not to have a glow
~
Oh no, it will fade, not yet though
Some take longer than others I know
Some of your moons can take eight
or nine days to shake. I do relate
to the effects of the full moon

I've heard that there is truth to this trend! Nicely written!
I have always found it interesting how the full moon can affect people, particularly those with a mental illness. Nice job, Denise.
Oooo, this was fantastic! Loved your poem!
I really liked this one for I was a mental health nurse, and the full moon is not a joke. Good job.
Interesting lines on this poetry. Nicely done 🥰
