Blood Moon

Too much hype by all my friends

There’s a Blood moon out tonight

But, I won’t see it

I’ll be nestled underneath the covers tight

Next to my sweet sweet wife

 

There’s a Blood moon out tonight

I’m sure I’ll dream of it

Somehow someway my mind will play it

In Technicolor instead of plain old black and white

 

There’s a Blood moon out tonight

So I've heard from everyone around

They told me all about it

It was if I was there the whole time

Human contact is a much better natural phenomenon, Mike! Well done!

[Michael G. Smith]

You couldn't have said it any better and especially when it with a spousevyou V are in love with.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i think you're in a better place, no need to see it, you can feel it and dream about it...the real passion is exactly where you already are.

[Michael G. Smith]

Yeah, I think these things are cool but I will give up anything if it means I can be in that comfort of relaxation next to my wife after a long hard week of work. Thanks Jacob.

Solid, strong, fully enjoyable. Enjoyed the story of being told about it then missing it but dreaming about it and then being told again after the fact but you were part of it. Playing with time, dreams and reality in three well crafted stanzas.

[Michael G. Smith]

Slice of life and being bombard on all sides "did you see the Blood moon", especially from my wife who said I was the reason she didn't see it to the point i'm sure I was forced to dream about. Truly enjoy your observations.

The first stanza was so cute. I however, saw it. I was wide awake, in Florida watching the Moon with a bloody frog jumping all over my bed.

Loved this one.

[Michael G. Smith]

What part of Florida? I live in Ocala.

I was in Orlando. You're in Florida? Damn so cool!

A very gentle, innocuous little piece that asks a simple but remarkably relevant question of what is truly important in life. Sometimes, a cuddle beats the grandeur of the dance of celestial bodies. That is life. That is truth. Thank you for a wonderful message! Well done!

[Michael G. Smith]

Thanks for the kind comments. You hit the nail on the head. To me its the little things and to others the grandeur.

I really like this. You have a lucky wife! The flow and rhythm of this was perfect and added to the feel of the write. (:

[Michael G. Smith]

Thanks but I think i am the more blessed one to have her.

[Avinash]

As long as you know what means the whole world to you, whatever happens outside is not of a much concern.

[Michael G. Smith]

Well said my friend. Thank you for your comments.

[Michael G. Smith]

Thanks, I enjoyed your bio. I also test poetry with curse words and know that Jesus is the Christ!!

[Benita-Staebell M - KindredPoet]

so I never cuss in
my poems I Enjoy the ones more when ones
leave it out.

I agree I know Jesus is
Christ also what a
beautiful one at that.

You're very welcome. Blessings. kindred poet

[Michael G. Smith]

it's nice to read someone else thinks like me. to me swear words demean poetry.

[Benita-Staebell M - KindredPoet]

I Agree with you Whole Heartedly. I don't Think Swearing gives it character at all so how I write is same as how I think my son never see's me doing it but would be nice if it was more Flow and clean reading without swearing with some others writing But I do Enjoy your poetry very much so. Blessings. kindred poet
