Thank you for your kind words. I think that 3 a.m. is the true witching/mystical hour. It is nice to know that others share my affection for both the hour and the moon.

Nothing quite like those hours is there really Cat, a combination of peace and frustration. It is a lovely poem and following your edit i would not change another thing. Keith

Cat, there are times when I think you’ve gotten inside my head. This piece is a direct representative of one of those times! It’s like looking into a mirror.

Truly beautiful write. I didn’t read the original, but Eric’s suggestions seem to have been on the spot, because this is perfect.

Only one thing doesn’t do it justice, in my opinion. The title is too light for the depth of the poem. When I saw the title and then read the poem, the contrast struck me right away.

Yes, Eric is always a great help to me and greatly respected by me also. I am at a loss for an alternative title, but I am always willing and happy to take suggestions. I guess I felt very small when faced with the magnitude of my feelings at this moment, that is why the title is as it is. Thanks for reading! (the moon is one of my favorite subjects)

Always, Cat

lol I see a problem in the title there.

In The Wee = In The Urine OR In The Small

So you see it really does not make sense ;)

I really do not think “In the small hour of 3 AM” works (unles you somehow explain why it is “small”

You know it is legit to take a word from inside the poem and use it as the title? Hint - just don’t choose one at or near the begining nor the end lines of the poem.

Best of luck,
Mark

Thew new title is perfect!
I to am laughing at Mark’s comment
Chrys

BUT I think a more traditional poem with title from poem the last line it works perfect. Ya might get a little more crit on that. Better to be up front than to try and sneak it in from where it might stop the reader to go looking for what the reader can’t really remember that the title is that line lmao

Awesome work,
Mark

Now you’re confusing me, Mark! LOL
Wasn’t there a hint not to use a line from the beginning or end up there somewhere? :)

Enjoyed reading this lovely poem…especially the ending. “my mistress moon” is awesome choice of words and alliteration and i think it would make a great title.

Don’t forget me
—I won’t remember anything else.

I like this also.

Suggest cutting

“quickly” from L2

also -
“hither and thither”
from L11.

Good job.

I am the midnight child

It’s impossible to smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside.

“shiver in the fading darkness”

an echo of a candles blush
cast by in moonlight meadows
trance

hypnotic duration
moons inclination
