I once read that one test of a true poet is whether he or she can come up with an original, fresh metaphor for the moon. And I think you've done just that. Congratulations! The "empty dinner plate" and the "exclamation points" are very striking and memorable. Even worthy of a lunar eclipse (did you see it last night?)! I also love the "dull side of aluminum foil." I, too, wish that I had written lines like that. Wonderful poem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5586553197417548371.post-87973145022244861642008-02-21T00:18:00.000-05:002008-02-21T00:18:00.000-05:00I love the Kool Aid metaphor with the sunset.
