Debbie Guzzi Poet Couplet

Blood Moon

end time harbinger, blood on the lunar tides,
how you threaten mortal men and their earthly brides

the cool blue of death masks the lip of starless sky
reeking hellish revelations fearfully implied 

four horsemen gallop through the sea of blackest night
pestilence, famine, war, death bring the Blood Moon's bite

full blown the iris of the eye, no white is left 
life will end in bloody light leaving all bereft

Mark Peterson May 7, 2014 at 4:15 PM Debbie, haven't read a couplet in a while, and yours was a real pleasure. The rhythm and rhyme have to be just so, and you did well. Gosh, I hope a few good poets aren't taken with the rest.

Roy Jerden May 2, 2014 at 6:58 AM Great set of couplets, Debbie! I see you made Craig's correction or it would have been the four centaurs, he he! Apparently humankind is doing its best to make the Apocalypse happen, isn't it? Cheers, Roy

Andrea Dietrich April 26, 2014 at 9:59 AM Debs. I appreciated your telling me what you believe in. I am kind of being drawn in that direction too. I am in an in-between place questioning so many things and yet still wondering about the things I was raised to believe. All I can say with certainty is that there is a creator. That is a fact that I think is undeniable by simply witnessing the order of the universe. Debbie Guzzi April 26, 2014 at 11:40 AM yup there is a creator, I often wonder though if there isn't more than 1 since there are more than one of everything else?

Andrea Dietrich April 25, 2014 at 9:15 PM gosh, you almost make me think you believe in the Bible and Revelations from reading this!! VERY good one. I think Dave is gonna love it. Thanks for telling me how you liked repetitive type poetry!!!

Robert Pettit April 25, 2014 at 4:53 PM Very well-written couplets that are fancifully descriptive with appropriate rhyming. Good job Debbie.

Painted Hunter April 24, 2014 at 9:22 AM Hi Debbie! Hope you've been well. Great write here...eerie and dreamy...I likes it! Sadly, I missed seeing the event. I forgot to set my alarm to get up.

Lucilla Carrillo April 23, 2014 at 12:03 AM This is good. I enjoyed reading this night. Thanks for sharing... Lucilla

Reason A. Poteet April 22, 2014 at 9:36 PM Among the slew of Blood Moon poems I've read since last week's lunar event, this is one of the best. Love that third stanza especially, Debbie. The darkness is to be expected, though it seems unique to most of what I've read from your page. Thanks too for the sweet comment on my Reshaping the Plea. I have been busy writing haiku for NAPOMO elsewhere and haven't spent a lot of time here. I truly appreciate the read and the reply.

Barbara Gorelick April 22, 2014 at 9:35 PM Pretty darned good! The four horsemen couplet is terrific. BG
