I love haikus like this and your presentation is stunning here! A very deep and profound quote youv shared there too. I love cosmic and celestial poems and this one is beautiful! Especially the last line “ L a’s penumbra u n” perfect ending. Might do well in brians contest! Best wishes! Pleasure reading! Sending you light

Lol, sounds like Latin, the way you copy and pasted it~ The Moon does not shine with its own light, it simply reflects light coming from the Sun oh no there goes the magic!

Oh no. I'm not a big contender of Brian's, it's for newbies to help support them, I'm no longer new here. Ty, IE always puts a smile on my face that you love my poetry!

Hmm, i would think Dark Side of The Moon by Pink Floyd, but Dream Weaver, i do love that one! Ty Tommy~ gracias, if i can teach about the total, partial, lunar, solar eclipse--i'm not a waste of time....
