There’s truth to it, this lunatic pattern around the moon planet.
The energy is real, the synergy you feel, but it can make you go batty and create something more tragic if you’re not careful.
The extremes are unreal, but you’re just supposed to feel and allow it to move through you without incident.
No big deal, right?
Except…
Sometimes you feel crazy, or lazy, or mad, or bad, or extremely sad, or something that you can’t even put into words,
maybe even glad?
It’s just what you believe, I guess, but it really puts you to the test - whatever it is,
what a mess!
If you’re an astrologer, then you know to bother; to pay attention; to check that box,
oh my God, it’s the Luna! Tick!

Sunsetting Pride 2024
Happy Pride! As Pride Month 2024 begins to sunset, I want to congratulate every individual who has become brave enough to take control of their life and live as their authentic, beautiful self. This is a month when it highlights those accomplishments. From acceptance within families and friends to acknowledgement in the political arena. Starting with Stonewall (and events prior) leading to the Supreme court ruling for same-sex marriages. We are here, we are queer, and we should never live in fear.

Hooray! I'm glad Top Story covered this. I believe I made Love Bomb the focus of Raise Your Voice, but this one is equally excellent. https://vocal.media/fiction/time-time-time-251y08cb
People nowadays are really stressed so this is all for you https://vocal.media/poets/wings-of-resilience-a-journey-through-adversity
Haha; I absolutely believe in the effects of the moon. I can be completely unaware that it is a full moon and have a very strange day, then at night see it staring at me like a wizard! Great top story!
Congrats on Top Story!🥳🥳🥳
Yay! Glad this got Top Story. I think I highlighted Love Bomb on Raise Your Voice...but this one is just as good.
Congratulations on your Top Story!✨✨✨✨✨✨🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏
Back to say congratulations on your Top Story! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
Congratulations 🎉 for top story. Embrace your unique voice, for it holds the power to connect, resonate, and inspire others in ways only you can.
The masterful manipulation of the words is great. Love ld the word play. Congrats on Topstory
Bravo 🙌 🌚🌝
Clever word play and I adore your flow here!
first of all, congratulations on your TS status. Now, THIS IS AMAZING!!! I LOVE IT and it truthfully describes many people (including myself) that are affected by the full moon. Your phrasiology (is that even a word, if not it should be) is also hilarious. as I said, I LOVE IT.
masterfully uses words to construct a dramatic tapestry of emotions inspired by the moon, reminding us of the fine line between madness and clarity.
I simply love this. Well done!
I shall leave my thoughts on astrology aside...but I do believe the moon and its position does have some sorta impact...I've heard stories from nurses and hospital workers about full moons and ER departments lol. Anyway, as ever, you spark something in me and I get all greedy for Jess Boyes poetry! lol. That doesn't sound weird...right? RIGHT? RIGHT? lol.
Luna, tick. Lunatic. I loved your word play and your poem!
❤️❤️ Astrology tells it all!! Explains many things. Fabulous poem!
Superb performance poem!!!❤️❤️💕
The crazy cadence and lilt (?) of this piece lit a fire in my crazy mind! All tied up so neatly with your final lines - love It! https://youtu.be/wY6insZjCfU?si=-7W3-8zEbcr4Fuv5
