Cinematic Poetry

by Betty Jo Tucker — Read all 96 poems by Betty Jo Tucker

After watching "In the Moon’s Shadow," a lovely independent film starring Debra Lord Cooke and Elissa Piszel, I was motivated to write the poem below.

Monday, March 9, 2020

Two sisters try to take a start

at being together, not apart.

One a widow struggling with grief.

The other works hard, no relief.

A Great Eclipse takes center stage

and puts sisters on the same page.

The acting here reaches new heights.

Location shots showcase delights.

“In the Moon’s Shadow” makes us feel

that love and joy can truly heal.

Your brief poem gave me great insight into what the movie, In the Moon's Shadow, is about.

Loved this poem right from the start. Yes, this poem inspired me because of it's positive outlook on life. We all need a more positive outlook of the future, especially these days. I will watch In the Moon’s Shadow very soon.

Sounds like a film well worth seeing with such an intriguing title.
