Ann Gilmour Poet Verse

'twas a Deep Vermilion

'twas a deep vermilion 
sky tonight, as if her heart bleeds
an angry dark blue, shooting through
stunning, menacing too
moons tranquility stills the night

John Watt May 8, 2020 at 12:13 AM As the moon is wont to do. She has that calming influence, doesn't she? Tonight my sweetheart and I sat on lawn chairs singing moon songs in harmony as we watched the rise of the Super Moon. I soaked in enough 'moonness' to keep me calm at least another week! Loved your excellent poem. Many blessings, dear friend. Ann Gilmour May 9, 2020 at 2:19 AM ohhhh... the picture of you both singing moon songs awaiting her arrival was utterly adorable John and so romantic... after watching her rise from the sea I sat on my balcony just soaking up the joy and peace I get each time I see her. Thank you for your lovely comments dear John. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
