Blue Moon Last Night

Blue moon last night peeked from the clouds
Smoky, blue, ghost whisps moved just right
Let it shine bright, close out of shrouds
Blue moon last night peeked from the clouds
For this gift to see I am proud
Gift was gentle,  eager soul took flight
Blue moon last night peeked from the clouds
Smoky, blue, ghost whisps moved just right


(First attempt at the style of Triolet.)(My poem "Opportunity" explains about the term "Blue 
Moon".)

Well, I missed it through the rain clouds ... smile ... I've wondered in the 2nd moon in a month is really "blue" and, if it is, why is it blue? Haven't studied the Triolet form yet ... maybe someday ... smile ... thanks for all your wonderful comments and hope 2010 is good for you and yours !

Lovely Triolet, dear Sara. Yes. In Emily's poem she was writing about the unbearable grief of losing her father and her beau, life felt like a living hell for her as her grief was all consuming and she lived in constant fear of losing someone else she loved, I read her poem and read the material of her life that the poem was based on. All of her works and bio are on the internet. Love, Lainie
