Bjorn is hosting MTB at dVerse and has invited us to develop a poem from a list. dVerse Poets – Meeting The Bar – Lists That Google Gives Us
“Love is not consolation. It is light.” Friedrich Nietzsche
Her Soft Light Moon was not in my sky, she was out somewhere with pisces, meeting new faces, I could hear her laughter cascading across the atmosphere and I determined a direction, her soft light leading my curious heart, which lead to, of all places, the seventh house, and I smiled because the night had not long begun and moon was young again, I didn't even knock. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
The Google search gave me “Moon is in the seventh house.”

The soft allure, the magnetism, the carefree and destined pull of love and romance: you’ve captured it all with brevity and brilliance! Loved this poem, Paul.

Well you know what they say Paul, when the moon is in the seventh house in Jupiter aligns with mars then peace will guide the planet in love will rule the heart. Or something like that 🙂 unfortunately There is not nearly enough love and peace in this world. Not what I envisioned during my hippy days of the 1960s I really thought we had a chance now I don’t know. I’m a day late getting around to reading everyone’s work but I’m glad I got to read this well written piece.

Many thanks Rob. I’m always late, time difference is a small hurdle from down here, someone reminded me that per capita, our hippy days were restricted to too small a slice of the population to shift it permanently, and most of our peers went on to work around us in finance and politics. I’m looking to a renaissance with environmentalism, the ethic never died, it lives on. The age.

Me thinks this youth is contagious.

Yes, I remember stories about the man in the moon, but they didn’t cut it with me (most of the illustrations in the books I read were either of a bland moon or of a grumpy moon), I grew up breathing romance so moon was always feminine to me . Thank you Cheryl, much appreciated.
