honey sweet

is a zine that showcases poetry written by h moon. the poetry ranges from romantic to serious to silly. poetry can be used as a kind of therapy for many people including me. 

i was first encouraged to write poetry by a late professor so i would like to dedicate this collection to him. i thank him for all that he taught me and all the ways that he helped at a particularly bad time for me.

the poems included in this zine are

With You fancy things ribcage story magic bugs disturbed off the shelf a prayer to the god of knowledge

Three of my poems were published in "We Have Food At Home," Issue #25!

These poems are called "Hard-Baked," "Frozen Pizza," and "Christmas Cookies."

I'm so grateful to the editor, Praya, for accepting my work. I'm also happy to have my work featured in WHFAH again as well!

Happy reading!

My Hidden Key

There is a key

I used it to lock

that part of my heart

where all my feelings are

buried inside

I did my best

to make sure this key

would never be found again

the feelings there too painful

to relive

Then serendipity changed everything

you walked into my life

carrying my hidden key

knowing that opening that door

was necessary

I needed to know

what love truly felt like

to heal my heart so

it feels safe to be

loved again

We are stronger as one

hand in hand together

nothing can ever stop us

our love is destined to

last forever

New Poem Day: "Guidelines for Living Your Fairy Tale (in no Particular Order)" in The Future Fire!

I've got a new poem out at The Future Fire!

Wow, a new update, already???? (Also, my spouse and I have been watching a whole lot of “Succession” lately, but I will always and forever love Matthew Macfadyen as Mister Darcy in the 2005 adaptation of “Pride and Prejudice”.) But seriously, I’m just jumping in to announce a poem of mine has been published in the latest issue of The Future Fire! The editors decided to make Issue 2024.69 their…

[softersalt]

No, the etiquette, though broken so often with sobbing,

must be silence: at least we must not speak.

Any word can run mad with itself, and with evisceration of itself

& there is no word for living through this, there is no word for

witnessing

our beloved fail piecemeal, no word to speak the itch

inside the fingers to be off, candle wax thinning to the bone-wick,

no word conveying the centering toward a more & more

essential which is itself essential to nothing & no one

but ourselves, in useless love, in unsupporting darkness, tongues

numb and as slow as sick dogs.

-- Love Among Lepers by Richard Ronan
