Kevin, you have painted a very vivid picture!
Thanks John!
Love that night street feeling.
Thanks Carole! Looking forward to interviewing you on Kentucky Writers Roundtable next month.
I remember those nights. Take an Uber, but then it was a taxi. Don’t drink and drive.
Correct, Linda!
A wonderful moonlit, urban scene.
Thanks Eric!
nice turn. You’re very good at this!
Thanks Mike!
your modern haiku is reminiscent of Issa’s raw empathy:
Under the evening moon,
the snail
is stripped to the waist
Thanks Gaby! I’ve been reading Robert Hass’s translations of Issa lately. Finding a great affinity with him, more so than with Basho, who is cooler, more cerebral. I’ve found my poetic soulmate…
There’s a subtle juxtaposition to this one. We enjoy the moon just before learning that someone is more concerned with making it to their ride. Questions abound. Darkness doesn’t merely exist in the night sky.
Exactly, Lee. Thanks so much for this insightful comment.
Well, everyone needs a good night out. I love how you get us in a calm mood, then set the world spinning! Gosh, these are so good!
Thanks Sylvia!
Well – that was unexpected! Nice one, Kevin.
Thanks Nancy!
This holds the beauty of poetry- the element of surprise.
Thanks Virginia!
You have given us the sky object and then left us on the street, how astute.
Thanks Larry!
