Comment from Mark Jackson
I have spent days skipping over this one I took a look and decided it was too long for me to review. Since it is still here tempting me it seems today is the day. I will start by saying I like it particularly the chorus which works well. I am left with two questions since I had to look up a couple of words. Firstly cord of wood. I looked it up and it is a measurement of wood. Although I prefer to think of it as a description of a bundle of wood ridged against the string, or you could mean that it is a bundle tied with a cord. The next part I am left with is the locust pod; I imagined this was a shell of a locust, but looking it up I find it is a tree. No need to answers the questions just letting you know my thoughts. Thank you for sharing.

I do have to confess I do not always understand your poems fully, but something that never changes is my great admiration for your mastery of the English language.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for bringing this forward from 2017... Not sure how I missed it then, but the encore performance is appreciated. You don't need me to tell you that your writing is sophisticated with layers and layers of meaning.
(But then, why not? You deserve to be recognized for your ability!)

Hello Tom,
A gathering of thoughts and friends
mid shadows cast and musings sung
Yes, tramps and moonlight were born to run
it's just the way the orb was spun
One beauty rises, others wane
So raise thy mug, we'll meet again
On edges of quick dusk and dawn
We'll drink until the moonlights gone
I enjoyed your starry rhymed poem.
Best wishes.

It is a beautiful tribute to what seems to be a yearly gathering of a diverse group of friends. A few stay, and a few go, but they are reunited in flesh or spirit in one way or another.
Nice! Best, JohnC

Your poem makes me wish I was a musician. It's an excellent poem that would make a beautiful song. I reminds me of nights I have spent looking at the sky with my telescope. Well done!

Sorry, out of sixes. Your writing inspires me. While I'm not sure how you do it, I'm perplexed at how your verse length varies. Nonetheless your rhythm remains smooth, and your words flow beautifully together. I truly envy your talent.

I enjoyed the special expression "moonlight on the run" depicting the departing beauties of the night sky, and thought the fascination of the astronomer with the beauty of the stars was very creatively written. and I enjoyed too the thought of fellowship and warmth around a campfire on a starry night. A very special poem.

This is quite lovely. It truly feels as though I was there smelling the wood smoke and hearing the crackles of the fire. Hearing bad songs being sung. Good work. Karen
