This piece is a bit more experimental than the two, which have preceded it.
Basically, it was another attempt at evocative free-verse that came into being during the last few weeks of this year's winter-stay in Florida. The biggest influence for this piece is/was the phenomenon of a "moonbow", which can sometimes appear as an enormous, impressive ring, or disc around the moon. I have seen a few over the course of my life, including an incredibly impressive one in the deep winter of 2022, and then, several more still-impressive-but-slightly-more-restrained ones in a row, over the final few weeks of 2023, and he first few of 2024, whilst wintering in St. Augustine, Florida.

Beyond this, I figure most of the references within it are pretty obvious and little-in-need-of explanation.

As for a slightly less obvious reference I thought it (possibly) amusing to share: I will admit that the Grammar Nazi side of me has sometimes cringed at the phenomenon of neologisms created from portmanteau words. Sure, some eventually pass into common-usage, but there are also certain abominations that should NEVER be allowed that particular linguistic privilege. My particular vote for perhaps the worst offender of all of them would be the now common-usage: "irregardless".

Well, the last few months has brought a new Portmanteau into public awareness, namely: "Barbenheimer".
Well, when I was (briefly) grousing about it one morning, I suddenly realised that "irregardless" is actually NOT the Final Boss, when it comes to portmanteau words. Oh, no siree, bobcat!

'cuz It don't matter if your humour's lowbrow
or peacock-pretentious fine art--
whether you like it or not,
the Final Boss of all portmanteau words is "Shart."
