| Posted by Maureen Glaude on 11/11/03 at 01:20 PM such fascinating questions, our shadowed moon must be blushing from the attention. Superb. |
| Posted by Graeme Fielden on 11/11/03 at 02:39 PM Lovely writing Ann - a thoughtful and eloquent supposition indeed! Thanks for sharing :) |
| Posted by Quinlan L Gibson on 11/11/03 at 02:53 PM I love this. Identifying with the moon, she is a beauty in her own right. |
| Posted by Ginette T Belle on 11/11/03 at 03:05 PM i love this poem...it's beautiful...the only thing i don't like is when you say "like really feel"...the word "like" kind of seems out of place...dumbs it down a bit...otherwise it's awesome... |
| Posted by Max Bouillet on 11/11/03 at 10:40 PM Mere reflections of the sun's light...wow excellent imagery and great words. !!! LoVe ThIs!!! |
| Posted by Kate Demeree on 11/11/03 at 10:49 PM I love the gentle beauty here, and the honesty. I wonder if we are not all reflections of those we love and they us... |
| Posted by Maryellen Lebeda-Parra on 11/11/03 at 11:07 PM can i be yours =) |
| Posted by Laura Doom on 11/12/03 at 12:30 AM As I read this, I was listening to 'Sail To The Moon' - extraordinary co-incidence, but this is an extraordinary piece. In the cold light of evening, I prefer your lyric :>] |
| Posted by Charles E Minshall on 11/12/03 at 05:09 AM You can moon me anytime Annie. Nice poem, congratulations for reaching the top of the heap |
| Posted by Glenn Currier on 11/12/03 at 03:46 PM Oh my God, this is beautiful. It fills me with awe. This is a truly great poem. Last night I looked up at the moon and noticed it with particular fascination. Little did I know that moment was a connection with you and your spiritgift. This has to be a poem of the day. It is certainly MY POEM OF THE DAY. Thanks, love. |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 11/12/03 at 05:36 PM Love the emotion and sentiment behind this Anne. Nice poem to brighten up my lunch hour. :o) |
| Posted by Charles J Hannan on 11/13/03 at 04:47 AM Wonderful read sweet Anne!..I think this is some of the best work yet!..:) |
| Posted by Rommel Cruz on 11/14/03 at 06:24 AM you can fall in line. :p |
| Posted by Leslie Ann Eisenberg on 11/14/03 at 03:56 PM I have a dark side’s existence
underneath a superficial glow
I gather sunshine
bundle that in moonbeams
to touch you in darker time
this alone, is a fantastic stanza.
the poem itself, a unique expression of your feminine beauty and confidence. you go girl! |
| Posted by Karl Waldbauer on 11/16/03 at 05:26 AM Such an elegant statement of the ancient union of women and the moon. An excellent read, as usual, Anne. |
| Posted by Jack Lanier on 11/18/03 at 07:05 PM Wonderful poem, Anne!! Certainly, you can be my "moon."...Jack:) |
| Posted by Vimal Rony on 11/19/03 at 05:57 PM At great angle u did set ur poetic telescope and there arises a probing and powerful poem evoking deep sentiments.Great job,Anne. |
| Posted by Traci Mabats on 11/19/03 at 10:31 PM This reminds me of that that balcony scene in Shakespears Romeo and Juliet, with the moon being envious of the sun. You're advocated the moons side pretty well here. Or I could be rambling. |
| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 11/20/03 at 12:03 PM to answer your question simply, yes.
lovely, Anne, this poem. it brills as celestial fodder never could. |
| Posted by Don Coffman on 11/22/03 at 07:34 PM A wonderful pondering of light and reflection, and the second half and ending are so enjoyably affectionate. You've given it an exceptional flow, conversational really, I could imagine it being said and hearing the emotional quality of each word. I can't really think of anything to offer in terms of tweaks or improvements, it's really just right. |
| Posted by Lindsay Sanders on 11/28/03 at 05:43 AM oh you took my breath away with this piece. i applaud you! |
| Posted by Jeanne Marie Hoffman on 12/03/03 at 09:15 PM So many compliments on this poem, and all deserved. I love the personality you put into the moon if it could feel. (Really feel, that is ;) ) |
| Posted by Ashok Sharda on 12/10/03 at 05:04 PM Well, we are all like moon reflecting our surroundings. Our suns. Interestingly there's a doctrine which claims that the purpose of the man is to 'enliven' the moon so that it can FEEL like earth. So it will be the moon who would 'live' and reflect man's energy and thats Life Force.'You are my sun
Can I be your moon ? to touch you in darker times' The reciprocation of the energy source is so beautifully depicted in such perfect analogy.

| Posted by Wendy Geal on 06/21/04 at 04:59 AM this is an amazing and very creative piece |
| Posted by JD Clay on 11/15/04 at 02:19 AM There's a bit of moon in all of us in a reflective sense, eh! This introspective piece reminds me of the maxim that states, darkness cannot exist where there is light. I very much like the positive feel and warmth eminating from this illuminating poem, Anne.
Pe4ce... |
| Posted by Leslie Ann Eisenberg on 02/22/08 at 08:41 AM i love this now as i loved it then. the last two stanzas are killer! i love the zing at the end. congrats on POTD! PK |
| Posted by Maria Terezia Ferencz on 02/22/08 at 09:34 AM Congrats on a well deserved POTDl. Love the line about being touched in darker times, it is in the darkest moment that the need arises. |
| Posted by Maria Massarella on 02/22/08 at 02:30 PM "You are my sun Can I be your moon ?" and who would dare say 'no' to such candid a question when to be the sun of such a moon is a privilege!? I love the way you 'wonder' and then with such pureness speak of the way you 'are'. Incantevole! Enchanting. Lovely to find this beautiful Moon in PPS skies. Congratulations! ... *m.a
