the moon motionless in the window — shh! don’t scare him away
The poem radiates a quiet, nighttime mood. A moment so beautiful that even the slightest carelessness could ruin it. There’s a sense of worry—even though it’s clear that the moon won’t react. He isn’t a shy deer. Still, he disappears after a few hours. That’s the time he gives himself.

Color & Temperature
#C2D4DD. Light Slate Gray – This color is a soft, muted gray-blue that evokes the cold stillness of a winter evening. It mirrors the pale light of the moon reflected through a frosted window, blending coolness with a slight hint of warmth, like the faintest dusk before full nightfall. It feels cold and distant, yet not harsh—just like the feeling the poem conveys.
0°C – The temperature at the freezing point, where the cold is palpable but not yet biting. It perfectly fits the atmosphere of the poem, capturing the sense of stillness and the quiet, lingering cold of a winter night.
Witches, pumpkins, shadows – this is Halloween. The air is filled with ghostly, eerie, even disturbing vibes. A mysterious atmosphere unfolds. 🌑✨👻🌫️
I couldn’t come up with anything particularly profound for Halloween, so I tried something different: I “halloweenized” one of my previously published poems. A few words changed, a bit of a disguise – and suddenly, something new emerged.
This fits perfectly with the grand monster party – eerie, but subtle. No rhymes, not for kids, but rather a quiet, flickering kind of horror that lingers in the shadows.
