Hi Sergeant Floyd, This was a really good poem, worthy of a 6 but offerings have been so good this week I haven't any left. A virtual 6 you'll have to settle for. :) On the powers of the moonlight to drain the color from the things around us. It's strange the things that can happen in the nighttime. :)

This speaks an imagination and thoughts of assumed and presumed happening, on which something will happen, draining colour from a rose; well said, well done. Write-Inspire-Change --DR ALCREATOR

Moonlight and the wash is a unique treatise on the concept of inevitability. I like how you take something as simple as the day of the week and turn it into a literary exercise. I think you are trying to tell us that wherever we are you can look around and see new insights that inspire us and enlighten us, I believe you are also telling us that it's okay to find meaning in the mundane.

I like the abstract silhouette pictures a lot and the flow of this poem. The asking the question, there must? as well really added to the poem. Thank you for sharing.

This poem is a thinker. I think my takeaway frpm this poem is everyone dies and the earth keeps spinning. We need the earth, it doesn't need us.

I have to say I'm speechless, a rare thing. I love this poem but I've no idea why. A lot of it makes no sense to me ("A ship the storm bails:"). By the end I was hearing "Must" as meaning dampness or moldy. But hey I guess that's what poets do: force us to look at words and connections in a different way. You have certainly described the washed-out appearance of things in the night. Very sad state of things. Thank you for the poem.

The complexity of both humankind and creation, and the manifold differences and yet the coordination, can't be separated in real terms, by combining to make an intricate pattern in the tapestry of creation.a beautfully written free verse, well done, blessings, Roy
