Question: What say you to "The Moon Was Cloaked"!?
A re-post from this morning!. That edition deleted!.
And I've written the moon in male form in reference to the man on the moon!.

The moon was cloaked in
Umber hue
No fire like Sol did
He forth spew
No rings upon his
Fingers bare
No wash of red as
In Mars stare
No Venus beauty
On Moon face
And so he hid his
Deep disgrace
A sliver only
Did he show
Of promise in his
Meager glow
The Moon wore umber
On the night
That shadow stole the
Face of lightWww@QuestionHome@Com

It is interesting to look at Luna as a male defaced and disgraced, hiding in the shadows!. A full partner and counterpoint to Sol, put out by an interloper, and so hiding his face!. The forced shift from the feminine aspect gives a new perspective, as we see the Man in the Moon!. My compliments on making us look at an eclipse reflecting different chemistry and dynamics!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Fascinating how we see different aspects of Nature according to our own gender!. The Moon as male!? The Ocean as female!? I suppose contemporary poets may create their own mythology!

I'm very proud of your poetic progress!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

And a male that pales is a male disgraced!? Interesting twist about the male ego to me!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
