here is a

moon boon

a beam gleam

it seems

I almost brought it to you on a silver spoon

but I balanced it on my head instead

for you craned your neck for far too long

and, to me, that felt uncomfortable and wrong

so here he is

for you to cradle if you wish

this gift, how could you resist?

this exact

balancing act

a pact

with myself

I made

that I wouldn’t

touch it to avoid more craters

with my fingertips

instead I’d bring it steady

with my forehead grips

for you to not miss

and to give him a gentle kiss

with your lips

    Great job with this one, and the rhyme scheme :)

    This one feels like a dreamy, slightly surreal lullaby like a secret between two people who trade gifts made of light.✨

    An opportunity to kiss the moon is rare, especially when held by forehead grips. I'd like to kiss the 🌙😊✨

    Wonderful! Great job. I see a sweet silliness here meshed with the almost reverential act of offering this gift
