I know how you love celestial themes. This is really wonderful, John, each verse highlighting with a different planetary orb. Love the last line about terra "who should know better." A little touch of humor. Congratulations on your winning placement!

You are so right about the celestial themes, Sam. Glad you liked that one line, it was the very line I was considering leaving out, for some reason. Appreciate you and your words. Many blessings this week, my friend ~ John

Thanks for the placement and the great contest, Edward! I was told by a very kind Souper that the judge isn't able to see the picture, so I typed in the words below it so you wouldn't see a blank screen... I made that mistake once!

Just seeing how this won the contest. Yayyy for the win. Congratulations.

This is so clever - a lover's triangle between the sun, the earth, and the moon - and the way you use. eclipse - the perfect finishing touch! I am beyond impressed with this - a Fave!

This is outstanding John! Everything about your poem has a mystical feel. The imagery, the concept, the layout, the words and the simple emotions that add a flavor to them. It takes me to another world. All the best for the contest :)
