I waited until tonight to read this and send along my appreciation to my fellow moonlover, Ann! I loved 'a spherical rubicund ethereal balloon' and the picture of a pregnant moon waiting to give birth. She is a beauty tonight, our Super Moon. So orange, she looked like a ripe pumpkin. Hope you enjoyed every minute with her my dear sky-loving friend. Hugs ~ John

Ohhh I did John, but when she first rose from the sea she appeared to be a beautiful shade of pink - exquisite! So please you enjoyed my poem John, it means a great deal to me my friend. Take care and keep safe. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

Lines that tantalize and intrigue on their own - seems a great choice for the contest to me. Good luck in the contest and all else. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

what wonderful description Ann i especially love the final two lines. On the moon theme we have had such an enjoyable time going to a lecture on the moon landing and watching the fascinating documentaries over the last few weeks:-) hugs Jan xx

Yes I have also been watching all the footage over the last few weeks, simply fascinating and I cannot get enough of it. I adore the moon and gaze through my binoculars whenever we have a clear night sky - she is totally mesmerising. Thank you Jan for your lovely comments, with kindest thoughts and moonbeam sprinkles from Ann xx
