Kelly, first I apologize for such a late review. I read this one shortly after you posted it and thought I’d left a review.

Yes, you are a poet! And, in these few words capture the magic of poetry, the silent pain we bleed onto pages, redeemed later with the moon’s distant influence. A literal success, I say.

[R.E. Ray]

Ok, that’s weird. I didn’t see my previous review until I posted this one! Well, lucky you... two reviews. ;) Must be this coffee this morning.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I know the feeling, Robert!

[Lydia Shutter]

WOW...Kelly, I am at a loss for words after reading this little gem! You do drink the moon and your poetry is always fantastic....hardly muted. So glad to see one from you! Lydi**

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, dear Lydi! And a Happy Holiday to you and yours!

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you!

[Neville]

I like this little fragment immensely.... cheers Kelly

[Kelly Scheppers]

...and I like you, immensely! Many thanks, Nev!

[Lorry]

So much said in so few words Kelly, that we all understand perfectly, and strive to reach the peaks of your words and taste the moon ourselves.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you most kindly, Lorry. It's always good to see you here!

[Laura Kate]

Amazing! How as poets we absorb what is around us, it runs through our veins and then once internalised and magicked with our own interpretation and creativity, bled out in words - lovely!

[Kelly Scheppers]

Such a lovely interpretation, LauraKate. Thank you ever so kindly!

[Einstein Noodle]

oh my goodness.... Kelly! well done! i love this ..best and most memorable poem on the poet i have ever read ..and written in senryu form with added drinking of the moon .. is perfect .. how i wish i had written this one for sure ;) love love love it!

[Kelly Scheppers]

You've got me smiling from ear to ear...thank you, Gene!

[Robert Trakofler]

Kelly you’re a poet and I like to spread it all over my toast like Kelly jelly! It’s feels wonderful in my belly but some times I eat to much and I start swelling then I can’t leave my dwelling:(? lol I recently took a photo of myself eating the harvest moon it has a lovely taste but I think I like your spread better

[Kelly Scheppers]

Now, that's a compliment that brought a smile to my face. Thanks, Bunny!

[Ted Kniffen]

You have taken a haiku … well done by the way … and elevated it onto a celestial plain. The final line was sublime … I will toast the effort later with a taste of Baco Noir.

P.S. there is no metaphorically … you are a poet!!

[Kelly Scheppers]

A thousand thank you's, my friend. I'd say I am in good company.

[Pete]

certainly fits the bill. can't get much deeper than bleeding and drinking. powerfully clever and creative. cannot deny that which you are. really like this ... :)

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Pete. Your support and kindness mean everything!

[R.E. Ray]

Kelly, you've captured in fourteen words what we read in your poetry, original art in few poetic words. This is you, and perhaps a few others too.

Poets seem to leak (bleed) what they'd never say aloud to a friend or loved one. And, your "drink the moon" phrase says more to me than others might read. You look beyond what's under your feet and around you, and you reach higher for inspiration and fulfillment. Another beautiful, original work!

[Kelly Scheppers]

You are ever so kind, Robert. Thank you so much!

[Edie Blue Starfish]

Perfect in every way. Well done!

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Edie. It's been a while - good seeing you!
