Sensual and lovely, Matt – love the photograph, too, which adds to the poem’s mood.

Great photo to go with your sensuous poem. Ah, the fondling.

“Keep abreast” — cleverly indecent, Matt!

Love the rawness of this, Matt.

Thank you all! Joy, there were numerous words, of course, that I could have used – touch, caress, stroke – but that just seemed like the best one in context and sound.

So sensuous. I think that branch wants in on the action, Matt!

I almost included the trees in the poem, violet…but ultimately they just didn’t belong. I felt it was an intimate moment (on display for the world to see) between moon and clouds.

Beautiful poem, Matt– especially love the personification of the clouds.

Thanks, Michelle. I tend to see human-ness in nearly everything, so it’s especially interesting to find a creatively unique way of sharing that.

This is just to say that I have been here and read your words, but surgery on both thumbs last Tuesday prevents me from typing a personalized comment. Forgive me — copy/paste is the best I can do this week! 🙂

Well, I’m glad you stopped by, anyway, Mary Lee…and I hope your recovery is going well! Pretty soon you’ll be all thumbs. 🙂

“Bare as a soul” – love that image! I can see why this photo inspired a poem – very evocative. And yay for a bit of free verse. Beautifully done!

Thanks, Renee – glad you liked it! I actually wrote the poem before I decided what picture to put with it. I was looking up at the sky the other night, thinking about how to describe the moon in a new, different way…and the first couple lines just came to me! I then started rummaging around in my files for a photo to go with it, and found this one which my daughter had taken a couple years ago.
Gotta love it when a plan comes together!
