Fly Me to the Moon.

"Why Are Your Poems So Dark?

Isn’t the moon dark too, most of the time?
And doesn’t the white page seem unfinished
without the dark stain of alphabets?
When God demanded light, he didn’t banish darkness.
Instead he invented ebony and crows
and that small mole on your left cheekbone
Or did you mean to ask 'Why are you sad so often?'
Ask the moon. Ask what it has witnessed."

—Linda Pastan

This is how i imagine my poems.

"WORD FACT

A phrasal anagram is a two-word phrase whose words use exactly the same letters in the same quantities.

Some personal favourites:

Remote meteor

Supersonic percussion

Soapstone teaspoons

Integral triangle

Persistent prettiness

Aristotelian retaliations

Daemonic comedian (the title of my next poetry collection....)" —@anthonyetherin

"Karma entered Western languages not because translators found an English equivalent but because speakers gradually agreed that no equivalent existed."
