Oh, one reason to want it then, makes for awesome silhouette. O: And looks nice!

O wow, I love the first one!

Me too. Oogie came out the best. Which, was surprising cause when I drew him on the pumpkin, I wasn't happy with how he looked.

*runs in, humps Woody's thread* Hello.

*hoses down thread* :/

Hello Cardinal Biggles! Beautiful avatar!

*sputters* Humps and hoses?! What kind of party is this?! And why wasn't I invited?

Its; your thread, you're automatically invited.

Oh. Fair enough. Hahaha. *gets out the bubbly and disco ball*

I keep over-reading the title, when squished between other tabs as "Pirates, not Pilates"....

Thank you, sadrain! I was inspired by E.A. Poe's poem Ulalume. Avi is supposed to be the anthropomorphised moon he describes.

Ahh, Cardinal that was messed up. My loving is good ol' fashioned loving...totally clean for the most part.

Pirates, not pilates... XD LOL.

Biggles, do you know Charlotte Smith's sonnet to the moon?

Queen of the silver bow!--by thy pale beam
Alone and pensive, I delight to stray,
And watch thy shadow trembling in the stream,
Or mark the floating clouds that cross thy way.
And while I gaze, thy mild and placid light
Sheds a soft calm upon my troubled breast;
And oft I think--fair planet of the night--
That in thy orb, the wretched may have rest:
The sufferers of the earth perhaps may go,
Released by Death--to thy benignant sphere,
And the sad children of Despair and Woe
Forget, in thee, their cup of sorrow here.
Oh! that I soon may reach thy world serene,
Poor wearied pilgrim--in this toiling scene!

... *reads*
*brain processing*
...
*faints*

Ooh, there's a lot of similarity there - here's the passage that inspired mine:

At the end of our path a liquescent
And nebulous lustre was born,
Out of which a miraculous crescent
Arose with a duplicate horn—
Astarte's bediamonded crescent
Distinct with its duplicate horn.

And I said—"She is warmer than Dian:
She rolls through an ether of sighs—
She revels in a region of sighs:
She has seen that the tears are not dry on
These cheeks, where the worm never dies,
And has come past the stars of the Lion
To point us the path to the skies—
To the Lethean peace of the skies—
Come up, in despite of the Lion,
To shine on us with her bright eyes—
Come up through the lair of the Lion,
With love in her luminous eyes."

Can you tell me in normal writing style, what you want to convey in the poem?

Oh that's lovely! And Astarte. Way to get out of the Grecco-Roman normal pantheon o' deities and conjure up a Mesopotamian one. Ishtar was a pretty interesting figure.

I WAS IGNORED!!!! O__O

I don't know what to say, erm, they're about the moon, and the succor and joy it brings.

The moon, now I can relate a bit. XD
I see.
Thanks.

I don't mind people ignore me when it is casual conversations.
But when my curious urge is around... :< I want attention!
*attentionwhore*

Yah. It's pretty much going on about the beauty of the moon.

And Woodland, may I ask from where are those birds? I reallly like your avatar, too!

eyes are from eyes of the wild. Thanks! I'm okay, about to go to bed though since I finished the work I wanted to do.

OMG, woody! Great pumpkins. I love the Oogie one!

and ya'll posted a bunch more while I was typing this out. I'm not even going to try to respond.

A bit sleepy...

Thanks Kat! I just looked at a picture and then drew on my pumpkin with a sharpie. :D
