Moon

To speak with equanimity to the moon
is as easy as eating with a spoon
no need for symbols or the occasional rune
your words can be a simple tune.

For if truth be told and rhyme be thine
the moon cares not for inscrutable sign
he always prefers the most simple line
and speaks in language both thine and mine.



Line count: 8
Rhymed aaaa bbbb
For Express It In Eight, 12.09.25
Prompt: Write a poem about a conversation with the Moon.
