Ludicrous Is Love Poem by Paul Brookes

Ludicrous Is Love

Rating: 5.0


thin arc of bowed buttermilk moon shines like a sliver of cheese.

scudding silver sails of cloud elude capture
as the stars look down miffed and mysterious,
can they really predict fate.

sometimes love rides the train like a hobo searching for a home
and Venus laughing hearty winks.
so where does love begin?

never in the bright ring of the sun
but in the clandestine night.

I enjoy the alliteration 'miffed and mysterious', BUT why are the stars MIFFED, for goodness sake? ? ? Hmm?
