Moon
Leaks milk from her left breast
paints a pallid landscape
scours the rings of Saturn
for her luminance and pearly hues


This is the first half of my poem 'Waning Gibbous', and I utilise concrete poetry for these. Which means it's in the shape of the moon, 'if that makes sense, but here I've just written it as Free Verse instead of Concrete Verse.

Which is a very very good thing. Like one of my favourite collections of poetry is called 'Blue Grass'.

In five words I've tried to incorporate and create a concotion of many meanings, namely, the Moon, the Moon Goddess, the transformations of the Moon, Plath's poetry, her persona, her father, Otto, and also my own core concept of 'The White Goddess'. A lot of things.

It'll take a gigantic paragraph to explain how this works, but yeah, that's it, in a nutshell. Thanks for your compliments.
