Verrazano Night Vision in Spring

by Julie Adams



the moon shone
a steamy carrot slice
over the dark, green
bay of Brooklyn
just past ten

Author's Note:


...just responding to a moon that caught my eye over a fortnight ago, and not mine alone ;) ...also see Elizabeth Jill's "Hovering"

Lovely piece, Julie. It's always best when these visions are shared, isn't it? Nice write.

You have given me so much visual pleasure with these brief words.

And so we meet on a moonlit eve
vía the sky,
God's rolled-up sleeve

síammissimó! —brilliantly writ as I taste the moon! xoxoxo —J****

A lovely moment to pause with words. That is what matters.

Your visual is absolutely right-on, and it blows me away how well you compared the moon to a steamy carrot slice. It not only gives the reader a visual, but cuts right through to other senses as well. Great read. Love & peace, Kyle Anne
