REFLECTIONS

Reflection of a full moon on a soft velvet sky,
Reflection of a lover standing nearby,
In free fall the mirror strikes the ground,
Reflections shattered, though there is no sound,
As surface tension overloads,
Silently…..The teardrop….Explodes!

Full moon will always bring reflective thoughts from the previous 28days..the ending..ready for the new
Often explosive for those ruled by the moon..
Well put Andrew..and welcome back

Thankyou Redex.....lol....Actually I didn't mean it to be sad, rather than an observation from a different point of view, but it just goes to show that different people read the same thing different ways......Andrew.....xxx

An image has been defined by Ezra Pound as "the complex of thought and emotion". I praise your powerful imagery culminating in the masterfully depiction of the "teardrop" that "explodes".

Scholar_GypsyKermanshah, IranAug 20, 2010

Sorry for my syntactic-lexical mistake.
* Masterful depiction
Anyway, it's so effective that one cannot but read it again and again. So good, my disloyal friend, dear Andrew!

Thankyou very much Poppy Red, I'm pleased you enjoyed this older offering, and pleased too that you brought it back again....Andrew...xxx

Nice and interesting threading of images in front of the inner eyes. And smartly found metaphor that alludes to a broken relationship, the memory of which hurts like a sudden interruption of silence.

Good luck with a new one.
