Just Peachy

The moon ripe as a Georgia peach,
plopped itself upon the blue-blackened,
scalloped edge of the deciduous forest,
topping the syrupy squiggle of horizon
as it bled into the blue velvet night.

Wow, Deborah! That is quite an excellent image. Beautiful- (By the way, we recently bought some delicious, juicy, mouth watering Georgia peaches from a roadside vendor... SWEET dripped everywhere. It was yummy, like your poem.)

This is not just any peach ... it is a Georgia peach! Mmmm, mouth-watering! Thanks for your thoughts on "Settled", I've asked for opinions on which 2 lines to leave out. When I get some comments, I'll change it to sonnet form.
