Paloma P Poet Imagism

Volatile Supermoon

Swallowed the sun
  in attempts to
       feel the fire,
dimly lit universe
   eclipsed 'neath
      inescapable novas,
horizons were hued of
  brackish tea's
   indifferent sympathy,
whilst solar systems' fate
      lost in darkly orbits
  relinquished their presence, 
       as celestial bodies blurred
 indulging supermoon's intense volatility

Freddie Robinson Jr. January 17, 2017 at 10:36 AM A splendid poem, Paloma. Visual surrealism that this cosmonaut can truly appreciate. Incidentally, Jupiter has a supermoon, Io. That moon is the size of Earth. Very alluring and tantalizing poetry. Cool write. Love and peace to you.

Doug Vinson December 15, 2016 at 11:09 PM Paloma, you know the Moon! : ) Cheers, Doug.

Tim Smith December 15, 2016 at 1:02 PM Nice...I wish I could swallow the sun...its struggling to get above zero here

Chris Green December 15, 2016 at 11:33 AM Sounds like the effects the full moon has on me and the supermoon was worse. Though beautiful, there is always a dark side to every moon and that is where I tend to wander on my off days, Your poems is a darkened masterpiece floating amidst the light that is seen at night, even though it originates elsewhere. Beautifully rendered my sweet friend. Doug Vinson December 15, 2016 at 11:07 PM "Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody." -- Mark Twain. ......

Darren White December 15, 2016 at 9:49 AM Were you able to watch it, the Supermooi? It was completely shrouded by clouds here... Swallowed the sun in attempts to feel the fire. I love that :) Paloma P December 15, 2016 at 9:59 AM Yes, it was awe-inspiring, thus the poem, thanks Darren. :)

Daniel Turner December 15, 2016 at 9:03 AM It looked very romantic, from my vantage point. The supermoon. Just lovely, Paloma:) Paloma P December 15, 2016 at 9:07 AM Merci beaucoup Danny. :)
