A great Bengali poet Sukanta Bhattacharya who lived in the world only 21 years, wrote, "The world is full of verse in the hungry kingdom/ Full moon is like a burned bread." I remember my dearest poet to read your drunken moon. Thank you so much.

wow, these are amazing. You ought to do that one "blood moon" separately and enter it into the contest. If I were Skat, that one would get in the top three at least!!
