Red Faced Moon

Red Faced Moon What have we done to make the moon blush? Thrown accolades and love poems, blamed her for the awakening of the vampires, the werewolf’s bad hair day. Perhaps Mars has whispered something, a sensuous and tempting invite, a clandestine rendezvous behind Earth’s shadow to watch the sun rise. Maybe, just this once, she stayed too long in the sun, forgot her sunblock, had one too many cerveza. John G. Lawless 4/14/2014

Hi John, you gave me quite a laugh in this poem. Please don't awaken the vampires; the werewolf doesn't mind "bad hair days." LOL La Lune de Rouge is brilliantly painted in your witty and enchanting write. I had to read it to a friend. Too good not to share! Best wishes for a joyful Easter (if you hit the beach, take the sunblock:) Love, Carolyn

Louise, thanks for stopping by. I alway wondered about Mars, the god of war and our crazy lunar love goddess meeting for a glass of red wine.
