David Byrne Poet Choka

March Choka

Super Moon presides
Laconic application
Devouring life and soul
They say it’s a curse
Shivers replace the heart beat
Unwelcome changes imposed
The mindset for one
Howling beasts inside contrite
Affection withdrawn

Carolyn Devonshire March 22, 2011 at 1:01 PM You know, David, looking at that moon was a wonderful experience, but I did have some thoughts about the "howling beasts" that emerge with the full moon. Cool choka! Glad to see you posting again and thanks for stopping by. Love, Carolyn

Andrea Dietrich March 21, 2011 at 11:04 PM I take it that it's not bringing much good, this super moon? Maybe it had something to do with Japan? LUna's ways have real merit!!

Caroline Cécile Delacroix March 21, 2011 at 8:20 PM You came up with quite an interesting Choka with the Super Moon, David! Great write actually, striking in a cold way. I'm feeling you!
