Stuff….
Three day weekend is making me happy. No plans tho, which is actually nice.
My niece is involved in a poetry website,and she asked me to join so we could stay in contact (this past weekend was the 1st time I spoke to her since I moved and it’s been causing me a great deal of distress. I missed her horribly.)
I shared one of my old posts from here as as short story. But she wanted me to write a poem (I’ve not really done that since I was 10 or so). But I saw a post I’d written years ago, about going outside in the middle of the night and dancing in the light of the moon. So I wrote about that. Cheesy but it’s a start. Not very keen on poems, I’m more of a story teller. bleah.
The glow of the full moon; bright and gentle,through the branches of poplar trees far above,mysterious shadows cast across damp grass.The soft light seemed to wrap around me,caressing my skin in a cool embrace,time frozen in space, silent and magical.There was but one thing I could do,I lifted my arms to the velvet skyand I danced to the music of the crickets and frogs.Nothing else is happening a the moment, very retrospective lately.
Hope you’re all well.

Your poem is beautiful. Felt like I was dancing to the music of the crickets and frogs. Here, you would have to add cicadas to the mix.
I’m missing the ‘cheesy’ part here…..
Really like your new color scheme!! Very nice poem too!
Must be the season for introspection, mate.
Love the last section of the poem. See ? I read it all the way through, even though it was poetry !
