You Can't Make It Up
This is what happens
during the blue moon, you said
floating off stage right.
It is confusing
I must admit. Then I scratch
myself, my stray itch
brought on by the likes
of you and your departure.
You will leave a hole
that no elephant
can fill, trunk or no, I say.
The lighting is odd.

Melancholy and lovely...I didn't notice the elephant trunk until now...
ReplyDeleteI like the effects of the blue moon, the departure of which can never be replaced ~ The drink I described in my post is an asian delicacy, like bubble tea ~
ReplyDeleteLoved the itch!
ReplyDeleteThere seem to be a lot of happenings during the Blue moon. You've nicely indicated it, Chris!

Very creative take on the prompt...
ReplyDeleteIs the humor intentional or just my weird thinking? I mean there is more 'oddities' going on here than just the lighting. I found your last line funny and I laughed out loud. It was so understated. I loved this, Christopher, thanks. =D
ReplyDeletethe lighting is odd...but i know that hole and it def will color everything just like a blue moon...great to see you today...
ReplyDeleteIs the humor intentional? Ummm. I will have to check. Tess thought it was melancholy. I will have to check on that too. Grace thought the Blue Moon had the responsibility. Ritva liked it that I actually have to scratch from time to time. Hank thought I was pretty busy and Berowne that I was pretty good at this. Linda suspects me of intentional humor and Brian thinks the odd lighting is def the Blue Moon. I am still checking. I will get back to you all on this if I ever find out what's really going on.
ReplyDeleteStrange what happens when a blue moon appears - all hell breaks loose!
ReplyDeleteI never did find out what the hell.
