new moon

Reviews

[Allen Smuckler]

I like the use of sighing gaze ... I can almost feel your relief from these few words and it captured me immediately... pretty topical I might add, since we're about to go back to our own blue moon. Just the right pace and space... Nicely done, Fred.

Thanks Allen. Glad the resonated in the way that it did. /Freds.

The marching moon never gets old.

Thanks Cherrie, most obliged to you for sharing your much appreciated thoughts.

A finely tuned song for us to hum away our blues. I too, as a bit of a night owl, love how the moon can speak to us
Thanks for the new read Fred

Most welcome Ken.

I like the double meaning of "blue"----

the moon is so soothing..it does swallow up the rancor of a bad day...if we just stop and gaze for a few moments...that is all it takes.

Indeed J! As a kid I had a huge window that the bed could actually just fall through, now that I think of it. And the moon was a constant companion; perhaps this is why quite a few of my poems gravitate towards that theme and feel. /Freds.

Wonderful brevity Freds. No blue moon this year, I think we have to wait until August 2023 before we get another one.

a day's toil and turmoil
now swallowed up

That is excellent poetic expression.

Hello Chris, thanks for your reading and responding. If it is to be witnessed and experienced, another poem could be on the way this time next year. /Freds.

Excellent F and I like very much the colloquial almost Audenesque feel to this one. Truly you are a Master of Brevity and the short forms no doubt.

[Red Brick Keshner]

That is both comforting and encouraging to the ear. Thanks T.
