Under the Same Moon -3-Way-Collaboration-

~Under the Same Moon~ P.D. Our days are different, living under the same moon Down here in TEXAS, life carries a different tune This world spins on its lovely axis Listening to our Tex-Mex of our English lexis We share a world made with the trust of God's hand Revealing the beauty that life continue to expand Don't underestimate our football image of our Cow Boy land A mysterious Mockingbird only we Texans understand Surrounded by the sweetest Pecan trees The Northern Winters come in like a breeze and a tease We also have them Blue Bonnet fields that come and go Tell me about CANADA, what makes its motion flow? Branded like a Long Horn, with my Lone Star State pride How about you, CHRIS A. What's up on your side? Chris D.Aechtner Different lives, different lands, living under the same moon, waking up to the ghostly calls of the wild loon. Look upon mountains and forests stretching into infinity- mighty Sequoias and tall Douglas firs stand majestically. I could offer stereo-typical images of hockey, snow and moose, or sockeye salmon, maple syrup and the great Canadian goose, but we Canucks are becoming tired of idly standing by as the rest of the world dips its fingers into our Northern pie. We are a nation of peaceful, open-minded hospitality, shying away from brutality by offering liberal neutrality. Before I blow my top as my strong emotions collide, I should definitely step away from my nationalistic pride, and ask about the Philippines and its tropical flair- how about you Nikko, what is happening over there? NIKKO P. Oceans away, here I am, living under the same moon Sun’s rising over there; here, dish runs away with the spoon My sleep is whacked, so I’m wide awake when you are, amazing how we can all be in one place even if we’re all very far Where islands form the shape of an old man, waters hug our shores Tropical Paradise here, when you explore the great outdoors Awesome sunsets, bountiful fiestas, the warmest smiles to greet you... We here just love to eat when there’s nothing else to do! Colorful rice cakes, freshest seafood, the most succulent mangoes~ Sunny days or rainy days, the creativity here just flows. Resilient. This is a word that pops to mind when I think of us Filipinos- We bend and bounce back, no matter how hard the wind blows. This is just a sneak peek, but I’d love to know more about Utah Care to share what’s on your side, my dear friend Andrea? ( 3 Way Collaboration )

As I read poem, I feel I am reading replica of 'Ulysses' of James Joyce. Sometimes it is far from comprehension. Choosing of words with apt English is symbol of premier psychological excellence...congrats! Ch v ramana

Absolutely beautiful description of your lovely GOLDDEN state in a very lucid style my friend. Again a very lovely & vivid description of your country Cris, where flows the beauty like its Niagara in the quietness of nature. Again a lovely & heart alluring description of beauty & smiles with mouthwatering foods and warmth of the Tropical Paradise Philippines by Nikko. What a great combination of ideas flowing from every direction of the world. Love & best wishes to all of you. Ravindra .PD
