    Thank you for the lovely review, dear Linda. How kind you are to stop and visit. Love and miss you too. I?ve been real sick with a food borne bacterial infection. It makes me miss my mom?the skilled home nurse. My husband does pretty good though. ;) Sending you my best today as always,

Sally:

I did not mean to end my last review so bluntly but my laptop was literally dying as I wrote the last word. Doesn't help to travel without one's power cord. Anyway, I love your lune, your author's notes, and Elton John's "Blue Eyes." Thanks for sharing.

What a lovely little lune. I love those little flowers too. So did my mother. Nobody in my family has blue eyes, and I can't say it's something I pay much attention to. Good luck in the contest.

Somewhere dangling from my family tree swings a person with blue eyes, Sally. :) No kidding. There's a splash of Irish in the family. Course, I inherited my brown eyes from the Italian tree. Brothers have dark eyes from the Apache side. This is a good offering for the Lune Poetry Contest.

Always so original, and poetic, Sally. Even when you are writing a poem, as short as a lune your heart of a writer shines through with brilliance.

Lovely presentation, and sentiment, and I wish you great luck with the Committee. :))

This lune poem, My Mother's Blues, brings both the color and the idea into the reader's consciousness as we sense the subtle, cool, and gentle feel that this shade provides.

The formatting for the lune is typically -- left justified -- to create a sort of crescent.

Happy day.

    Thank you for the lovely review. Left, but not always. I saw many examples of lune poetry online that were centered. I am unconventional, so I decided to do it. Sending you my best today as always,

Your mom's love of blue, blue eyes, and especially those baby blue
blue bell flowers, are a gorgeous choice. Happens I do too, loved
this little blue treat! Seems a lot of people with brown eyes love
or prefer blue eyes, myself included. Wonder why that is????
Thanks for sharing this little blue memoir of your mom's blue
revelry favorites.
Love, blessings always, Ronni

Thank you for the lovely lune and especially for sharing those precious memories of you mother. She was amazing and so hardworking. I remember she used to always dress you in blue. Best wishes in the contest!

    Thank you for the lovely review and for remembering my mother. She dressed me in blue and bought me blue things until she passed. I still have blue ornaments from the blue Christmas tree we had for years. Miss her so. Sending you my best today and many thanks for the kind review,

A loving tribute to your loving mother. Your short poem is very sweet and says enough to deduce your special relationship with her. Best wishes for the Lune contest.

Hello Sal.

Your poem meets the style and construction standard for a lune poem. Your notes were helpful in having the reader understand the motive behind the poem. Good luck in the contest.
