Friday night (when the light is right) AKA Mothballs

Andrew Charles Forrest

Friday night (when the light is right)

AKA Mothballs

 

All the moths have gone to play

In the city to see the sights

They tried, but they just couldn’t stay

So dusty wings took flight

They believe their time is limited

This may be their only night

So all the moths have gone away

To towns with brighter lights

  • Comment from author about the poem: Youth... and it's eagerness to experience everything now is like a moth to a flame an age old metaphor I know but these are strengthened emotions particularly today as we come out of lock-down... cut the kids some slack when the reins come off and let them be kids again... just for a while

    Yes youth has to try out wings after occasions like these Andrew - let us hope now the easing of lock-down will stay.
