More from D-Tail
Hey guys, long time no post. ^^;
I've been working consecutive days lately, and have found myself to be rather tired in the evening, so I haven't been writing as much as I would like to. However, whatever time I could muster was spent on my epic ballad. =3
Luckily, the divinely talented
Jazzycat has inspired me to write a nice intermission piece. She's an awfully sweet person, and her works are simply adorable! \(^o^)/
I hope this particular poem of mine could capture the cute essence I found within this surrealistic piece of hers --> Stargazer
Stay sweet, Jazzy! ;3
I hope you all enjoy! ^^
Until next poem. =)

haha, this is great, i absolutely love this as i do all your work:3
take something most people have heard before (the moon being cheese) and do something with it most people probably havent thought of, or maybe some have and havent put it into literature its great, nice job D ^_^
P.S: this reminds me of the book "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie"

Much obliged for the encouraging comment, Yavy! ;3
That's very nice of you to mention, and yeah...halfway through the poem, I was like: "hmmm, this reminds me of something I've heard before." =P
Hehe, as I keep telling myself: when it comes to poetry, it's all about concept--BE INNOVATIVE! \(^o^)/

Damn straight! :U
Hehe, although, in his particular case (and in most cases, really), I edit a word with an apostrophe so that it will comply with the meter I desire. Here: turning the naturally 3 syllable word "wondering" into a less natural 2 syllable word "wond'ring." ^^
I do what I can. =/
Many thanks for the kind comment, Russ! =D
On another note: how have you been? :3

It's partial... for June 26th (mostly penumbral).
Here's a link to Sky & Telescope's web site:

There's more detail in the printed June 2010 issue. Early morning if I recall.

Oh! Just found this on the NASA site too... you might find it useful for Solar Eclipses (partial and total).

Well hey there, Nick! =D
That's quite a comment, my friend; I'm glad to hear you enjoyed all of the creative aspects I implemented. I really enjoy dressing up simple concepts! Being clever is seldom a bad thing in poetry. ^^
It was a pleasure to write, and, yes, I hope to post more works soon. 8)
Take care!

That is amazing adorable, you truly are a professional D-Tail!
I'm so flattered you could write such a well written and imaginative poem inspired from something I made. That, and the poem itself is brilliant. It really is something you would see in a children's book.
Another very nice poem from a very nice person! Cannot wait to see what you write next. :)

"A professional..." (o.o)
Gah, what a compliment! D8
The pleasure was all mine, Jazzy! I can never regret running into you that fateful FA day; your work is truly in a league of its own--it simply can't be touched and certainly can't be emulated. There's a certain childish passion in it--I never thought innocence could be rendered in so many colors...and with ANTHROS too! \(^o^)/
*sigh* Your style itself is an inspiration to me, Jazzy, especially since most of my work is rather lighthearted! =D
You are quite welcome, my friend; think nothing of it! ^^
I hope you and Bloo have been well! ;3

Now this little thing was fun to read. It kinda reminds of that old children's book series. You know the one, like "If you give a mouse a cookie" or "If you give a moose a muffin." But unlike those, this had a classier feel. It was lighthearted and cute, just like the image: if I could, I'd probably bundle up with a telescope and do the same thing! Shame I live in the city! XD
Hehe, I've certainly gotten that comment a lot! xD
You're absolutely right though; it definitely does. =/
As you've probably already noticed, I'm a poet who heavily implements meter and rhyme, as smoothly as possible though. It's gotta sound just right. ;3
As for subject matter, yep, I thoroughly enjoy writing lighthearted poems--poems that are just meant to be fun! =)
Though, I'm indebted to Jazzycat for drawing such a beautiful picture, less this poem of mine would have never been. =O
Much obliged for the kind words. ^^

Haha, what joy your comment brings me, Zanty! :D
As for the moon being cheese, well, I just thought I'd take that imaginative cliché and expound on it a bit: add my personal flair 'n all. ^^
And I've aroused feelings of "nostalgia and warmth," you say? That, my dear, is a major plus in my book. My goal is simply to share poetry that conveys emotions or cute, imaginative ideas...poetry that's "fun & accessible to everyone," as a friend of mine recently put it. =)
Thank you very much for taking out the time to read this, Zanty, and do stay AWEsome! (^-^)

My apologies for the terribly late response, Kishniev! =O
As for the author you've suggested me, I actually searched the web a bit for that particular story, but couldn't find its availability on any site (albeit, I'm not the best web researcher). ^^;
Would you perhaps be able to give me a synopsis of the similarities? :)

No prob. :)
The story is in Ursula's short story collection, called "Wind's Twelve Quarters"; you may still find it in a library somewhere. I checked my digital English library, and that particular story collection is missing, so I'm afraid I can't post a link to it. Err... I could post a version in my own language, but it'd be more wrong then feeding fox with shamrock. ^^
"An astronomer has his observatory burned to the ground by the soldiers. He survives by hiding in the cellar, and is later taken to a mine by a friend. There he meets the miners and earns their trust. He soon learns to appreciate the beaty of the silver sparkling in the rock - the stars below - and constructs a new device, a microscope, which helps the miners to find gold and silver lodes in the ground."
Well... I first read that story when I was just finishing junior high, and it really touched me deeply. Seeing you compared stars to Parmesan, I couldn't help but point to it. It shares the insight into the primordial curiosity and passion that lives in us and, sometimes, transforms and evolves our reality. :)

Well now, I can definitely see a similarity in the concise summary you gave me. The theme is different, but, as you said, the "primordial curiosity" (concept) is ultimately the same. ^^
I like the whole last sentence you used actually--It shares the insight into the primordial curiosity and passion that lives in us and, sometimes, transforms and evolves our reality--as a poet who admires surrealism, hearing such words arouses warm feelings in me. =D
Thank you very much for your insight, Kishniev! :3
