About This Poem

Under Moonlight

.




                                    my hand caresses
                                    the empty pillow 
                                    under moonlight 
                                       the white line on finger
                                       that used to shine

    I really like your tanka..especially the white line...[yes the single tanka stiffled me I wrote the sequence first..the sequence is much better more original in form using repition of line and intended to create urgency.} Light & Love

    No poems since this one. Ruben O. where did you go? Are you out caressing other pillows and giving the gift of your verse in quest of another golden ring? Be careful! Enjoyed reading this verse, Ernest.

    maudlin [sigh] the knuckle on my ring finger never did go back to normal. I think if something deforms you [meaning me] one should get the hint? [perhaps ..a white lined finger or a white ringed finger] Light & Love

    I never tire of this poem - LOVE it :-). Per the question re Suzette Prime: You may use any sequence of prime numbers per line. The philosophical statement may be weaved into the poem or a single line statement, but form a logically part of the poem. X, Su
