The Full Moon's Reflection

Wow! Lovely poem Michael, it flowed beautifully. ~Anna Kaianah

An elegant personification poem, with a timely message. Great writing, Michael.

What takes place around us is so disgusting ! It is better to close our eyes as the moon did ! You have said more than this little poem can speak out, dear Michael

Lovely rhythm. Beautiful poem ~

Cleverly written with much thought Michael! Linda

He gave us so much plus the logic to look after our planet and yet greed has taken over and and billionaires are being exposed by the score. The one that shocked me who is a billionaire is the Patriarch of the Russian orthodox church who is buddy buddy with Putin. No wonder HE closes his eyes . Excellent write Michael. Hugs and blessings - Jennifer.

The man in the moon must get really upset seeing the earth in such a mess, yet still he shines his light, perhaps he’s hoping to put the world to right. A superb write Michael… Belle

Powerful personification poem, Michael. I feel much as the moon does. The last line summed it up perfectly. It is hard to look upon what is happening to this planet of ours. Have a blessed week my friend. Bill

thanks for what you said about my dear brother Dale. Now I have read your poem. This is really cool, Michael. Please do more and more.

Very creative, the sad imagery of the eclipse so moving~

Wow! Great work! Intriguing the history of the earth lighting up with manmade light. To see the earth light up over time where cities burn bright and of course to see the pandemic shut down those cities that “never closed.” One day the earth will be new and violence will be nonexistent. I look forward to that day. God bless!

Good Morning michael. This is lovely. The moon is fascinating and you have given it a different twist yet with truth. I very much enjoyed your version and intake. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful morning and day.

Sounds like what I were do if I were the Moon. Love the way you personified 'Him,' Michael. Kudos, Gershon

A great poem, with perfect closure at the end! Amazing! Do you think the moon sees, all the beauty, too? The newborn babies. The cops out there risking their lives to keep us safe? What about the Border Patrol saving lives in the Rio Grande? Does he see poets like you who touch people! I think he sees it all. Pangie xx

Excellent poem Michael. Well done. :)

Dear Michael, your very moving personification is filled with poignant truth. I just loved your last line.. so deeply heartfelt. The poor Moon, I feel his heartbreak. There is more and more pain and sadness and less and less joy and love in this world. The human race is destroying itself and every other living and natural thing on this once pristine planet. Your stirring poem though mournful is beautiful. Warmest wishes, my friend.. ~Susan

It will be a day to remember, and many will rue the days spent frivolously.

Maybe it's time the curtain came down on the human race, Michael. Love your poem, as usual gets my head thinking somewhat deeper than normal. Thanks for that and the poetry. long may it be so!

Beautiful!

Effective use of personification, Michael. The moon would indeed be saddened by what's happening down here. Janice

Dear Michael, thank you so much for taking time to read my poetry this morning. Every word was penned from your heart and I felt it. Your personification of the moon is very intuitively right, He the moon is amazing lights on or off, power of celestial trinkets that God made for us, for He loved us so much he gave us light, through stars and moon, Take care, and be well, soup mail

Beautiful imagery. I felt like the moon was a person with feelings. I enjoyed reading this poem. :)
