The Red Moon

caving in the shadow of sun's embrace,

                              new scroll rolled up on earth,

                                   reveals the world's end.

Signs and tokens, harbingers and omens. I'm glad I didn't pack earlier because I've seen dozens of these. But then maybe comes the one of ones. I enjoyed this poem you cast. Congratulations.
