MOON WATCH

fantasy

Each warm summer eve

when the moon peeks from a cloud

I gaze at his face

When his lips pop up

I'm convinced he views my grin

it causes a giggle

When his lips sink down

I wonder about his mood

Do I change him so?

Eyes shut late at night

I see the moon in my dreams

no clouds to hide him

How a fairly short poem can reach so far and say so much is incredible, Every line, each phrase is heavy with meaning.. yet, able to fly to a place where passion and homecoming seem to hold hands, You have a way of touching the heart and mind. Beautiful poetry, and an aftermath of luscious visuals. ' When his lips sink down - I wonder about his mood - Do I change him so?' Would say, undoubtedly!

What a beautiful review; thanks so much Emma!

The way you describe the moon, it seems like what I call "my angel" -- my best friend (RIP 5 yrs) who seems to be hovering around all the time, as if lighting my way as a moon might . . . not to mention a moon always circles its planet & this seems to be how it can be with someone we feel close to, even when that person is separated by death or location or virus concerns. Thought-provoking message with a fun sense of being uninhibited (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Thanks as always Margie, xo

dear Betty... I have been observing the Sky more than ever...
it seems to be a place where Dreams are allowed to blossom.
Your poem is mysterious as the Moon is always there to
share our innermost feelings and like a very close friend
will smile back and bring a message from love ones who
have touched the boundaries of eternity. May your view of the
Moon on a Summers Eve give you a peaceful feeling.
Be blessed and stay safe and well. gently, Pat

Although I am a selenophile, I have never been inspired to write about the moon. I love this poem, Betty. Summer eve is the perfect time to fall in love with the moon...

This is super romantic. I haven't really fallen for the man in the moon. He's not my type, but I did find a handsome face in a beach towel with a tie-dye pattern quite recently. I spent quite a long time staring at that one and thinking about him. He looked like a warrior of some sort, wearing a helmet.

Who can resist the lure of the moon Betty? I am a moon gazer too. I enjoyed the little fantasy write. Reminds me that a crescent moon looks so much like a pair of lips smiling. I like that. A friendly moon rather than an aloof one. Nicely done dear Betty.

Perhaps a fantasy, Betty, and the wanting for something larger and out of immediate reach. The moon seems to bring clarity to such thoughts and desires, framed in dark blues and black. A treasured view when outdoors alone, nothing interrupting our dreams. So much packed it this short poem.

[Betty Hermelee]

Thanks so much for the great review, really appreciate it!

You’re welcome.
