A Message From The Moon

                                                                                                            while

                                                                                 everyone

                                                             on earth

                                             was burning,

                     and yearning

for a mundane affair,                   

                        a crescent was born

                         it peaked above us all

                                                     with a spiritual call                 

                                                                asking

                                                                                 everyone

                                                                                   to heal

one more example of your innovation and creativity. I liked both the form and substance of the verses creating a crescent smile of the moon.

Well done artist Rula...

I thought of this as the newly born crescent of this month brought the holy month of Ramadan which brings so many blessings for the Muslims who fast this month. Saying that, I preferred to keep it general as each moon is so special and always holds an aloof message while shining through the darkness.
Thanks for your supportive kind words friend.

It does take a lot of time especially that it's the first shape poetry for me,however, I thought it's worth it to express the mood of such a month.

Dear Rula, Ramadan Kareem

a very encouraging message, and a very meaningful shape poem.

I never understood why a poem in a shape is called that...

I have troubles doing anything like this on the site- indentions, italics...how were you able to paste this up? I cannot find the means in the formatting section.

I think she may have done this using space bar...just a wild guess

I'm trying to find you a very rich blog by Kelsey (swamp witch) on how to do it. It needs more than just one step.

and let the crescent go

Loved. I'm happy to know that you like it.

Posting form poetry can be a real challenge. I know this is supposed to be a crescent as well as what the shape stands for. That all being said it would come across better if the shape was a bit smoother.......stan

I of course understand your point. I tried my best for a smoother shape, but the site advanced formatting wouldn't help much to show shapes. I however have done some minor edits as recommended by you and wonder if the shape now looks any better.
Always appreciate your time and thoughts.
Be well.
