Notes About The Poem

Image result for picture of a MOON RISE

I find it amazing this lunar eclipse was the first to coincide with a Blue Moon - a second full moon in one month - in North America - in over 150 years.

Now I want to know what sign the lunar eclipse was in - I'll check it out. Great use of your 17 syllables - good kick! Love ... CayCay

Looked in to it and realized I goofed again. This pic is lunar eclipse/blue moon and NOT the dawn/dusk that I wrote my monoku about. Some people just need to buy a vowel occasionally, me, an entire clue! You inadvertently saved me again. Thank you, my love. Off to kick myself again (I should build a special room)

Like my moon monoku, you used exactly 17 syllables, Andrea. You pay fitting tribute to the red/blue moon...an inspiration to you and many other writers! Regards // paul

WHY THIS POEM HIT ME LIKE A JACK HAMMER? This poem is so much about me. And I admit there are certain women I have this "gaze" for. One sitting behind me at this moment on another computer. It's an infatuation. I'm single and free I have a few of them.
