Supermoon Blues

There was this week a Supermoon
The sky lit by its color of burnt umber
I was eclipsed from this awesome sight
Racked and tired, I was in slumber.

Thanks, Sara. I am in good company when you say things like that, because I often feel eclipsed by their work...including yours.

Thanks, Eve. The one stanza had me stumped for a bit, but I wanted to get in an entry for something so extraordinary.

Thanks Andrea. I knew I had to write something, it was the four line limit that made me so full of the blues.

An excellent use with words/message with double meaning. I too missed it by being wrapped up in composing a half dozen poems that night. Super 7 on this one and it gave me a smile. Always a good thing in my book.. Thanks
