Sara Kendrick Poet Ekphrasis

Notes About The Poem

Luna Moth USPS Stamp

There you are exposed to the lick of a big tongue
Even though you are a soft green which is beautiful
Away you go on your journey to another country
So much farther than you could go in real life
Maybe Luna Moth Stamp you will end up in
Paris, France or The Neverlands 

Made from a high-resolution digital print 
By the artist, Joseph Scheer
Such softness to the design
Soft brown, sunshine yellow
In a gentle curved style  
I'm reminded of the morn when one lay dead on drive

Captured in print you can live on and on
Travel the world and maybe someday
Space travel will complete your journey
Or you might get stuck in a scrapbook
Luna Moth USPS Stamp life has much in store

Rowena Velasco July 24, 2025 at 3:33 PM A soft, dreamy reflection on a Luna moth’s afterlife—your poem beautifully entwines art and imagination, memorializing Joseph Scheer’s pale green scan-portrait as something that travels, lives on, and inspires. Quirky, whimsical, and full of delicate wonder.
