Moonsong

The moon sat, plunked in a cobalt sky
punctuating the stratus
a wane full note on a blank scale
resonating, pulsating, pregnant in it’s fullness
and the string was plucked.

Hey Deborah! Love this one too, "punctuating the stratus"..sits there like the point at the end of a sentence, notes on a scale. I was thinking at first, 'stratosphere'...but now I do see it as "note(s)on a blank scale". You make me smile...this is wonderfully clever! Blessings to you! Mikki
