Jane Dougherty Writes 
I liked the usage of colors in that poem. The concept of the moon bridging worlds is very creative.
Thank you. I’m writing a story set in a world of constant twilight and I’m itching to write colours. It’s amazing how important light is in our descriptions.
You’re welcome. So is this poem part of a bigger story you’re writing? That does sound fascinating.
Not exactly. I was trying to explain light and colour and the sky and what’s in it to someone who had never seen daylight or a clear sky or colours. One of the bridges, I suppose.
OH! Okay now. I was a bit confused for a second. That’s great how you did that.
When I’m inside a story, everything seems to fit. I’ve just posted a scene inspired by the story. I’ll probably be doing that a lot from now on 🙂
That’s cool. I would like to see how those scenes and the story itself turns out.
I’m about a third of the way through a first draft, so it won’t be finished for a while yet.
Gotcha. I know that feeling about multiple drafts and editing.
Just have to get the bones down. The fleshing out is the fun part.
I agree.
🙂
Fabulous Jane.
Thanks Di!
I agree to ospreyshire. A wonderful usage of the colours.
The sky is full of light around the clock at the moment.
You are blessed, here its dark. As i always say “Bavarian Siberia”. 😉
It’s sunny and hot and the moon rises early and sets very late, but still no rain! The trees are thirsty!
What a wonderful area. Dont tell to much, i will get wanderlust. LoL
🙂

Very nice Jane!
Thank you, Dwight 🙂
This month’s moon is especially full of light here. I hope that’s a sign. (K)
It’s a muted daylight, soft and warm. I hope it’s a sign of something, though the climate ructions all over the world don’t bode well. They are having terrible floods in the south of Spain which is normally desert. But, no, we have nothing to reproach ourselves for, it’s just leftist hysteria.
They just published a map of all the flooding in the middle of the US this summer–you can’t be anywhere near a river any more it seems.
Nope. Same everywhere.
