Hi Juju, The man in the moon laughs at me As I bleed maroon and cry out What is more lutacrist, I only love the moon Spelling of the key word and tiny fixes are all you need, in my dorfish opinion. The poem is small. I -like- small! The message is neatly sublime May I illustrate my thin thoughts? (hope this is not a breach of newbie decorum) --- The man in the moon laughs at me As I bleed maroon and cry out What is more ludicrous than that? I only love the moon ---- Your incorporation of "ludicrous" is absolutely perfect. It makes the tiny poem a great success, Whether you care for my suggestions or not. Wonderful to think that such few words can still be made to convey fresh-feeling thought perspectives. Thank you, reid |

I liked it, Juju. And, that's a helpful hint about the Corner Pub, Marge. I'm always changing mine. "Relationships are the one tangible connection we have with God" - Purpose Driven Life |

There is a stark strength to this piece. The only thing that bothers me is the lack of Andy Kaufman. |

is this a play on the jazz tune with the line: "the man in the moon is smiling 'cause he's in love with the girl in the world?" If so, I'm interested to better understand the last line. Is she in unreciprocated love wiht the moon, or is she actually separating the man from the moon? If it's the latter, I want to know why. Aren't they one and the same? |

Brad what do you mean, I have no Idea who that is? But your right, this is a very dark poem. Probably one of the darker ones. trebuchet- It might be, I am really in to jazz, and I listened to it since I was little. Your definition seems to hit on with the irony of the poem. Only the meaning of the poem is actually, that the "moon" hurts the one he loves (like time and again cruelly), but the "girl" stays with him because she has fallen in love with material things, (The moon and not the man). If it is true that the image in my mind, was inspired by that song, I should give credit to it, because the poem would never have looked like this. Thankyou both for enjoying my poem -Juju -Juju |

I confused Man in the Moon with Man on the Moon. Sorry. You've never heard of Andy Kaufman? |
