Just Plain Foolish

Just a chance for an old-fashioned, simple storyteller to say what needs to be said.

Poem

When black night
Caresses the sharp sliver
Of needle thin, wailing
Newborn moon,
Who kisses the piercing wound?

Thank you.

I wrote this while travelling through the Appalachian mountains in Western Maryland. It seems like the moon is brighter there, and looks painfully sharp when it's crescent.
