'The man in the moon'

is what most call the face
that shines down on us
from yonder golden orb.

But some of us see
poet Marge smiling,
sending hugs and
cascading moonbeams
of passionate poetry
into our hearts,
and reminding us
she is still
part of
this family,
this circle
of friends.

It just may be
the 'man in the moon'
is now a woman.


Waving at you tonight,
Marge.



*Thanking Titia,
for inspiring this Moon post
in memory of poet Marge

You have a big heart Kacy for taking the inspiration and keeping it going through your words.
We all miss her very much.
I have been in and out of here over the years and it was always like she was grandma to all of us.
Someone you always looked forward to visiting to feel comfortable in the roots of friendship.
She used to send out soem of her poems by email and we all loved reading them...Almost like an exclusive story type of thing.
Yes, she certainly was special.
Thank you and Titia for this reminder.
We are always frail but we are also always love in our own way and the love lasts forever.

What a lovely tribute for Marge. Yes, no man in the moon for us anymore, but our lovely Marge, sending us love from above.

Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

Kacy, this is a beautiful tribute. Tonight, I think I will look at the moon with a different eye.

Thanks for peeking in, friends. We all miss our moon poet.
For Pipsters new to these forums since early February,
I encourage you to delve into the archives
and read Marge Tindal's poetry.

I see  her up there, opening a skating rink and trying to line up everyone she comes in contact with myself, or getting absolutely everyone into some kind of mischief!   

This was a nice remembering Kacy.

Waving together with you, dear Kacy, and all of our friends here. This is such a lovely thought. In Italian the gender of the word moon is feminine anyway "la luna", so I have no difficulty in changing the man into our dear Marge up there.

Remembering her with gratitude.

Love,
Margherita

Thank you each, for your Marge-moon replies.
I didn't get to see the moon, but knew it was there behind a cloud cover and rain. Last night it was cloudy again. My wind chimes were singing, so I knew the wind was blowing strong enough to clear the cloud cover. Maybe if I had gone outside I would have seen the moon, but my Tuesday full day chemo session side effects left me too tired to go outside. Still, I sensed Marge was up there smiling, sending another night stream of huglets.
