Sliver

Driving home from work on a hot, August night the sliver of moon in the sky never looked so bright. It looked close enough to touch hanging so low in the sky, making me wish I had my camera to capture its radiance by. This was the perfect ending to a long work night, this perfect sliver of moon in a flawless sky so bright.

yeah, I love moon stuff too...a never ending variety with shape and brightness and mythology...great stuff here Francine (by the way I've always been disappointed at cameras in relation to the moon..it always comes out as a tiny tiny dot ).....a nice poem....best wishes Syd

Right now the moon is but a sliver here, Francine, and I was enjoying looking at it just last night. Great use of imagery to set the tone of serenity. Love, Carolyn

Lovely Francine, I've seen a moon like this, so close you could almost touch it. Moon poems I do love and this is so nice.
