Thank you for your tribute to Luna and her son with this ensemble. The picture you selected echoes the "gray clouds" and your alliteration of "l's" intensifies the message. A lovely salute- Joan

This is lovely. I really enjoyed her poetry, a lot. I found it enchanting and whimsical and it took me to worlds that only existing in our imaginations.
I enjoyed her fun spirit.
this is really nice, it is sad but very kind and thoughtful.

This is a good haiku and a great tribute to Luna. You captured the suddenness of death, especially when it was not expected. Well done, my friend

    Thank you, Douglas. It is a huge loss and I will miss her. I didn't know her that well but we were becoming close friends. She friend me on facebook and we exchanged friendly communication in fanstory. She was a great lady, talented poet, and kind person. May God keep her and Mickey together in heaven and bring both peace.

A lovely haiku. We have lost yet another great poet, sadly too soon and quite unexpectedly. Thank you for sharing this in her honor, my friend~Debbie

I didn't know she passed away. I too hope she rests in peace with her son. She was very kind. This was a lovely memorial to her. Thank you for sharing this.

Sometimes those dark colors say exactly what we mean them to. You express such a profound thought about the uncertainty of life. One can indeed be here today and gone tomorrow. All we can do is appreciate the precious moments that we have. Reference to the clouds works well in this. Beautifully presented. judi

This is a beautiful tribute to a lovely lady that will be missed dearly. At least she is now with her dear son. Beautiful haiku with two perfectly connected sentences and the 'ah ha' moment brought tears to my eyes.

I am very sad about Jeni's passing. Her poetry was always thought provoking and very poignant. I had to face some more medical issues that have cost me some valuable time with reviewing.

Your poem Gypsy concerning Luna is so very poignant. You my friend are so very right with your second line: *here today~~gone tomorrow*! Enjoy this day my friend,,,,,,,,Jim

A well-written poem. I did not know she had passed away. The heartfelt words flowed well line to line combining easily and forming the message of the poem for the reader.
