Full Moon Temptation

Poetry

To diet, or not to diet?

Full Moon Temptation
 
Tonight the moon is
            a golden chunk
 
of cheddar cheese
            to be savored with party
crackers and friends,
 
while I am mostly mouth
            and gluttonous eyes,
 
but hate so soon
            to break a new
resolution.
