Hi, Trisha;
Great poem and photo. The blood moon affects so many people in different ways. I avoided looking at it this time. It often plunges me into depression,

The mon does a lot other than shine ! It drives the eb and flow of oceans, so why not you (or any)? The full moon is responsible for strange effects. That?s why they used to call people Loonies. Lune is the French word for moon. My husband. Gets very agitated. And bi polar when it?s full
Thanks so much for reviewing.
Hugs, Trisha

Full spherical moon
Appears suspended in space
Has donned a red mask
Emanates fiery red streaks
Twice a year phenomenon

The best part is the red mask. loved it

This is a "lunatic" triumph, both in the glorious poem and, as well, in the
grandiose photo. One suggestion: Your red text on the black background
is difficult to read, esp by old goats like me. I will usually pass on reading such poems but, knowing it was from you, I squinted through it and happy I did. Blessings, john

Beautiful picture. Nice color choice the blood red on black. Great choice of words for the blood red moon. Very nice rhythm, almost seems like a rhyming effect. I would wish you good luck, but you have not entered this one in a contest, though it would be a good piece to enter. Sherman541

I write from my heart whatever I feel to express. Contests present subjects in addition. If my reviewers are happy, I?m happy . Thank you Sherman, for appreciation of my penning.
