I'm the Thursday girl, as Sherry calls me, for Poets United. Every Thursday I post a poetic prompt. I was lead to this one ;D Tonight there will be a full moon. I did hesitate to post it. Poets write about the moon. I haven't, but there are so many ways to interpret Lunar's light. I figured why not...
Pale Geisha swims
to the edge of the midnight canvas
her limbs caress the sacred sea
time for her painting lesson
with ripples of enlightenment
her fingertips spread illuminated light
it runs, drips and pools
along the ink washed landscape of
Pine Soot and Sumi Blue ink
Four gentlemen watch
her technique
it's fluid rhythm
mirrors
her life's work
Sometimes her art hangs in the 7th house
She paints with opaque essence
a translucent blend
which reflects all
of her cousins' beauty
across the Mica stars
Another self portrait
it changes
with her many moods
this time she used
her sister's suggestion
yet
she is world renowned
for
her own signature style

Pine Soot and Sumi Blue ink' Gorgeous! Every bit of it:)
The moon does have a lot of mystique and such majesty about her, doesn't she?
I read a few days ago that the race is on against the Chinese getting there and starting to 'mine' the moon. This fills me full of dread and sorrow because, humans haven't done a very good job of taking care of this planet in the past 200 or so years, what chance does the moon have of not being destroyed and the delicate balance that keeps it all in place ..tipped.
Your prose is lovely and so fitting for how beautiful she is. :)

Kerry-Thank you! I know I can see it, but I am not sure why I went in this direction. I started thinking of paint and this is where my muse went~ :D
