    Nothing of the sky may melt the solitary soul like the moon. Lovely expression Nic.

    do you think there's something wrong with me
    i mean is it a freudian slip
    the fact that i first read
    "your smiley is my undoing"?

    I would think it is your smile that becomes the moon's undoing.

    Simply put, and so very lovely Nicolette.
    Allyce's comment makes me laugh, but she's right, you leaves us wanting more.
    lol.

    That's it?! What is this insanity? Whatever this ku is, I don't like it Of course I like this though Alone, it is powerful and would have been a grand opening to a poem! I think crescent moons and smiles go so very well together: the shape; the luminosity. "Undoing" is such a fabulous word too and I love how you have applied it here! In the light of a such a being all the doors fly open; all the coils spring; all solidarity unravels. See where your mind takes me with so few words!

    Brilliant poetry Angel Gogo!
