The poem I didn't read tonight at the open mic...
Since I didn't go...I hurt my wrist last night and have felt weird all day...Yeah, I went to the doctor and am better now...

I'll read this next week...


Moonrise


Watched the moon come up tonight, high in the eastern sky she looked as though someone were painting her

as though the sky were

canvas

I walked and felt moonrise all round me

who is the artist and where does he work but in my mind and yours

do we see it together or does the canvas separate us from that great reality of

moonrise


soon she will be

full...

1. Good Morning Peg
Nice job! The mind wraps around the poem like a snake on a hot summer day squeezing my heart softly hissing like a flat tire in a hot southern wind.

Thank you for rescuing me from complete ignominy!

And your sentence is a poem in its own right...

3. Good Morning Peg
It is a nice poem. Evocative and Erotic, it flows with a stream of consciousness quality that inspires the soul. Great job dear!

4. You are too kind...
I'm trying out a new way of writing, and I'm not very polished at it yet...

So your words are very good for me...

Thank you...

5. yesterday morning, I watched it set



Hi Peggy, :hi:

I hope your wrist is feeling better. Your poem subject is a favorite of mine - I liked it, although my taste/qualifications for commenting on poetry are non-existent.:rofl:

7. My dear Kali...
I love your pic!

The wrist is better, thanks, but not entirely cured...time is what it'll take...

Glad you liked my poem!

:hi:

6. I don't know why but...
...I almost feel as if it some way touches how I feel right now.

It's night but there is a keening light that seems deeper than its appearance.

Who is the artist, indeed.

Thanks

8. My dear Nuclear Unicorn...
Sometimes we feel things, and there's no way we can explain it...

I'm honored that my little poem touches you...

I thank you...
