Cheesy Moon (Ghazal) Poem by Ben Gieske

Cheesy Moon (Ghazal)

Rating: 3.0


Look up and gaze at craters on the cheesy moon.
A cow, a spoon jumping over the cheesy moon.

Opening the refrigerator, what cheese now?
How about more of tasty, crusty, cheesy moon?

Dare I taste the zesty tang of pepper-jack cheese,
Mix and dance with the tango of a cheesy moon?

My office cloudy, loveless, lifeless gray
Could use some life-giving zest of a cheesy moon.

Brie and Camenbert, Ben loves soft and crusty cheese,
Swiss and Gruyère with wide eyes opened, cheesy moon.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Written with such flair and finesse Ben and I can see why it deserved to be published! I am not a lover of the Ghazal format, but after reading this I can see that the repetitions do not have to be boring. love Karin
