For the NaPoWriMo day 7 prompt, a poem based on a news article. You can find the news story I used here. I took the photo, above, out my window at dusk last night.
The art is inspired once again by Matisse. And Los Lobos, with a great video rendition of Kiko.

Kerfe, that moon art is *stunning*. I’d hang that on my wall in an instant! And what a beautiful turn of phrases in that last!

So true. But I think that your moon is lovelier than the one in the sky right now ❤

You say it so well, the moon is not up for grabs. It belongs to the night.

Typical that our president sees it as just another piece of real estate to exploit.

I had seen this, but got interrupted and forgot to come back to respond. Your art is stunning here. The moon is was magical–and she definitely does not belong to any of us–especially you know who!
