Fingernail Moon (April Fools Day Challenge!)

well done - great images here.

visually wonderful

lovely and original poem, with a great title

Well done. Love that image of a fingernail moon (and a great title, too). Nice ending.

Great work.

I agree wholeheartedly...great poem.

Thank you Finnegan, Estelle, Susan, Christian, A. Pseudonym, and Sheldon!

Playful, amusing, vivid. 100% a delight. I love the line "Just kidding, I choked."
A+

Thanks Jack- it means a lot to me

Great, great title, Molly. And it's so difficult to use the word moon in a poem or title and stay fresh - but you do it here. It's a perfect title.

The motion in these few lines is amazing: stood, pressed, facing, surge, spilled, clinched, jumped ... And that's stanza 1.

My favorite lines are "Reached out, hung on
tight to the brick-
sweat fell onto my lip." The wording there creates a strong mix of imagery and word music.

Fine piece.

Wow, thank you Sam- I'm glad that you think the title is good, because I was worried if it was too cliche.
I really appreciate how you take the time to give great comments on my pieces.

Cool. Great last line.

Thanks Jon!

Terrific! Nice tight ending, and the images stay with the reader. Especially loved fingernail moon and the wind stole my words.Nicely done once again.

Thank you so much Darryl!

Molly, terrific ending here. I had to read this twice to get it and then i had a good chuckle.

Thanks Sara!

Yes! Terrific!

Thanks for the read, Jason!

Love this, Molly. What a great poem and the ending couldn't be more perfect.

Thank you Marcelle, I'm glad you liked it.
