We all go through these phases of feelings and emotions. You have writtien about them very well.

I love it! It's so vaguely metaphorical. And a fantasy piece, which I love.

So much has been written about the moon and yours
is no exception...wanting to bring light never before
seen.

Always,

Deborah

WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Liana Margiva

Wonderful imagery...captivating journey beautifully assisted by the compelling photo. Thank you.

...poetic-catchy-title "Dark of the Moon" symbolically
shuts out the comfort of the light...for a dark hour-yard
when one disappointment follows another...bears little
relation to the reality of the "half past noon" time...when
empty is the word "dark"...but encourages creative talents
to shine...uses the words...to sum up the force and...quantitate
the difference between the common...just feeling low/down...that besets us all...at some time or another...going further...and descending...beyond the blue...
With my fingers crossed...hope...it's just one of your great
poetry for your loyal-Sun-morn-readers...
Thank you Ron, for sharing it.

I enjoyed this piece, a much more creative and fictional poem for you. Flights of fantasy on a moon-lit afternoon. M.True

I like howling at the moon, as do my dogs. I've even been fortunate enough to hear real wolves howling at the moon - the good kind of wolves, not the nasty human ones.

a moon always has a dark side especially "twenn the legs ... a cluster of poetic emblems make this poem particularly humorous indeed ... makes one want to take off and run to catch with its moonbeams ...

Good imagery!....There is a full moon right now and i wonder if the wolves are out!...M (Unfortunately we do have some in this area).

To me, this is symbolic and conjures up thoughts and emotions... ...and tonight's moon is supposed to be the largest in quite some time. Thank you for sharing, Ron. Love and peace to you,

In the majority of the poetic construction I've read of yours I see that your primary penchant is to rhyme. Have you ever attempted writing Triolets? Speaking personally I have found that challenging myself with time-honored poetic forms is a [humbling] process that helps stimulate, and elevate, ones creative mind out of the dangerous creative ruts any of us can find ourselves trapped in.

All right! Battle won..................run fast, wolf! Run fast!

Love ya!

The wolf seems to welcome the dark moon, but I'm glad you've sent it away with its tail between its legs and brought back the brightness of the moon.

Nicely-done, Ron!

Good timing , Is tomorrow full? Cool poem.

Seems a bit of Poe,
But with a greater amount of foe,
The wolf and the three little pigs, Curly, Larry & Moe,
And the crazy clock in the Munsters home, the crow...

All this in your crazy hand giving it to us with the feeling of touch... -e-

'I can imagine the unwelcome feeling never felt before',as most fearful!

Nicely done Ron. Only one question... Is the Swiss cheese made on the Dark side? Often wondered...

Ron,
I can feel the darkness and lightness within this poem. Very well done!
Peace love and light,
Amber

What a stark image! That Old Wolf is a bit of a chancer. He seems to favour the element of surprise. Glad you were ready for him :-)

THAT OLD 'DARK MOON' CAN SHOW UP ANY TIME...GLAD HE WAS SENT ON HIS WAY, TAIL 'TWEEN ITS LEGS'. WELL DONE AND ENJOYED. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Good stuff.

Excellent faux Poe, but with your own subtle touch.

Well Done Ron ...

was that sword 'Ex Caliber' ?

The dark of the moon,
In the light of the night.
A howling good read,
This one's alright.
