The August heat will not wane for the night
The black crow sky embraces a blue moon
and so we too embrace beneath the stars
How many wishes made upon these stars?
How many secrets shared within the night?
How often were we watched by jealous moon?
I know you'll always be there like the moon
We lend each other brightness like the stars
The heat of you awakens me at night
Love rare as nights of blue moons, falling stars.

I like those rare nights like blue moons ~
I loved the mood of this - perfectly pitched.
This is beautiful, LM--and I love both the framing quotes. The moon is awesome tonight.
Well played... and that second stanza, where you pose all the questions - that was such a unique interposition in the framework of the tritina.
I loved this one....and the pictures too they say a lot......somehow the moon came to most of us....
Excellently done. I read it once without a thought about the form, which to my mind is as it should be. You nailed it!
Someone at work was saying that blue moon was when there was an extra full moon in a month, which I hadn't know before. And of course the old "once in a blue moon" instantly made more sense, but I still didn't know why it was called a "blue moon" in the first place. They kept saying, "It's when something only happens once in a while.", and I'm like, "Yeah, I got that part."
Darkly beautiful!
And now I keep hearing Jimi Hendrix in my head:
"All I have is a red guitar,
three chords
and the truth."
Nice quotes for commemorating the blue moon! It was B-E-A-utiful. :)
