Blame it on the moon
as she slowly turns
her shadows to light

evolving, revolving
in concert
to the 28 days

as spirit flies
with men on the rise
the vulnerable moon dies

a woman cries
in silence
to rise

again

Good solid work here, Kenneth.  First appears to be pastoral moonbeam, but then we sense the human conflict beneath the surface.  Good read.

I agree a very good poem, and timely.

I remember asking a poet here now passed, Marge Tindal, if there was a full moon there too?

I think that was the most embarrassing blonde moment in my life!

Thanks Hippie!

Lol Mysteria, yeah I've had a few blonde moments myself, mostly as a child. I once asked my brother in San Francisco if it was raining there too because it was raining here in Dallas. :P What can I say, I thought when it rains in one place it rained everywhere.
