Moonlight

 Moonlight.

Speak the word out loud.  Whisper it.  Feel the way your mouth stretches, the ways your lips, tongue teeth move as you speak the word:  moonlight.

Walking in the moonlight / Staring at a full moon / crescent moon / once in a blue moon / Basking in the light of the moon / honeymoon / moonshine / moonlit / moonbeam / (to be) over the moon / to moon (to moon over someone or something, moon as a verb) / moonstruck

When you think of the moon, of moonlight, do your thoughts lean toward the positive or negative?  Do you know why this is so?

I've always been a bit afraid of the dark, so the extra light given by a full moon is a draw for me, beckoning me outdoors more than on darker evenings.

Today I read a poem about a recent bright moon, written as a sort of conversation with the moon.  Have you ever talked with the moon?  Do you perceive of the moon as more female or male (or neither)?
