Notes About The Poem

Image result for red moon 2015

Velvet Orb

An orb of velvet bleeds across the skies

Nearer she flares to warm my night's caress;

Bestowing tints of her rare paradise 

When moon of heaven gushes to fluoresce!

Astounding write! Your use of words brings the moon to life....she bleeds, flares and gushes! She doesn't just sit in the sky calmly.

The first line grabbed me with the delightful poetic devise my intermittent memory refuses to extract the name from my flaky mind.A full appreciation of the new supermoon moon with literary wonder is exquisite!
