moon rises

upon the glistening lake,

an orb of time

suspended.

    I'm smiling over here, Audrey. We are on the same wavelength. The moon...oh, but she is a distraction. And a benediction. I hope your Sunday is glorious. I loved this piece.

    Lovely poem! A clear moon does indeed seem to freeze time for a while.

    "an orb of time/suspended"

    Beautiful. I hope this is the view you have from your window someday, but until then you can certainly create the image with your words.

    I am always amazed when poets can do so much with so few words.

    We make a point of going to the lake every year (same family - different lake) and I have seen "an orb of time suspended" a handful of times over my lifetime.

    Audrey, sorry it's taken me this long to respond. I love, love this poem, though I cannot tell if it is a form. This image of the moon, your words, so lovely. So much said in a handful of words... wish I had that talent! Believe it or not, last night, we went to a terrace where astro-enthusiasts all brought their various telescopes to share with the public. What an event! Saw the moon's craters, also saw Jupiter...but nothing like this moon! Inspiring poem. Peace, honey. Amy
