Here, my poem is about the ‘Midday Moon’ being “Misled”
High Noon Moon (a Musette)
Thin moon
A silver horn
At noon
Unowned
By the blue sky
Outbound
Unseen
Slinks toward night’s
Silkscreen

Thank you Cindy … The tiny moon painted a white slither on the blue midday sky which I was very fortunate to catch sight of, and that inspired my Musette … ✍️📖🌏😍

Your photos are so beautiful!
Your poetry images are so powerful, so vivid!
That Lou Reed song is so poignant and poetic. The song goes back a l-o-n-g ways (in years), but still seems so relevant and fresh today.

Thank you for your very kind words Carolyn … Yes, Lou Reed was an amazing singer/songwriter, even way back then with “The Velvet Underground”, and the song seemed so appropriate for my Musette … 😎🎵🌙🌏😍
