Moon Sighs

Catching Moon Sighs

 
From time to time
as clouds pass
     — those  plumpted puffs — 
               touring  by 
…Out 
      from behind them
  a
  Night’s  lit
               Blink!
             will occur
for: 
T’is  our
Moon sighing 
at Time’s insistent nudges 
			to fleet  on by
And at which overseeing Venus
     winks her sympathies…

Playful, titillating moon. I do not think that it is The Man in the moon, but a romantic woman instead -- desperately in need of makeup. Lovely read. I am smiling also. Very creative.

Sally, this makes me smile. I can smile imagining each moon sighting. There are so many beautiful visual treats we can observe if we have the right mindset. I am so very pleased to read your work. Each poem is like a flash in my sometimes cloudy life. Your work touches my heart....so I am so very thankful for what you do. Your work is an insight into your mind, and I imagine it to be a wonderful and creative place. Everyone who you touch has to consider themselves lucky!
