Temporary outage,
the whole starlight grid is down.
See that cold new moon,
standing aloof in the dark,
burying her guilty smile
in a cloud.

Wow. What a way to describe the night, not forgetting the moon when it’s a new moon either 🙂 Beautiful!

Thank you Christy… if you are standing among pine trees, think of us lesser mortals in the concrete jungle, inhaling distilled CO2 🙂

hehe i am inhaling nasty A/C fumes right about now in the concrete jungle. it amazes me that people won’t accept dead leaves as money. they have no taste. at least we have poetry and extended weekends!

I love it when what is not said illuminates a poem – I like the moon’s rebellious streak!

When an outage results from a shy moon hidden by the clouds many are affected. You gave a perfect picture of that sudden darkness abhorred by lovers. Assurance brought about by a bright moonlit night is most welcomed. Beautiful write Thotpurge!
