(after reading Marge's poem, "Who Hung That Moon?", I recalled this poem ...from many moons ago. Thanks Marge!) (The moon is such a fickle thing it brings us love and thoughts that sting it captures moments in its light and turns them into pure delight. It can make us weep it can make us sigh but it made me smile and this was why.) Moon Rising I never saw it quite that way before, saffron cheeks just resting for a moment on the hill, an old Jack-O-Lantern sagging into November, dots of trees silhouetted like a day's growth on an upper lip. It tickled me to see such majesty turned comic, and I had to write this poem for the smile in me. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |

Martie~ See ! Cloudy skies are swept away, with poetic glow in soft array. Dancing across the coast to you, sister to sister ... in glowing hue. You are just such a delightful friend. This tickles me too ! I love you and send you great big smiles on the moonbeams path !  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Like the intro Martie nice words for sure... and then these ones "saffron cheeks just resting for a moment on the hill" got to love those word pictures and how you saw the jack-o-lantern in that pose... I'm glad you saw the comic in the scene and it made you smile.....loved this one! |

saffron cheeks...what a visual!... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |
