1. Wow! This is gorgeously rendered, Bjorn! 🩷🩷 I especially admire this part;

   “howling the hues
   of silver on cobalt
   transfixed
   in her gaze”

   • I went a little mad in the moonlight.

2. A great response to the mini prompt, Björn. I love the title, the alliterative ‘mindlessly mesmerised’, and especially ‘howling the hues of silver on cobalt’.

   • The moon has its own way to inspire.

     • It does.

3. Lady Luna has her ways. I like those lines Sanaa highlighted also.

   • Thank you…

4. If the moon was an actual she, she’d definitely be all a blushing! 🙂

   • Ha… I think she can handle more than we think.

5. So lovely in alliteration, romanticism and flow. I absolutely love the word “moonminded”.

   • Thank you… alliteration is what I love best.

6. A call, a howwl, beseeching to the strange eerie presence above us, the moon that casts mood and glow, a verse that sounds as good as what it says, the need of the poet to be pulled..

7. moonminded and lunaticked – what great words for describing the influence of the moon.

8. Great take on the art.

9. Very sensual!

10. “tethered to sequins” … love! ❤

11. Lunaticked wolflike… I feel that under the moon.

12. Oh, this was wonderful – moonminded – that is a fresh word. The moon does have an allure.

13. Moon Madam is so beautiful!

    Moon is considered male in some cultures.

    Earth is female 🙂

    • And the sun is female, as well as the star. You are referring to the culture of Norway … 😊

      • Both Sun and Moon & most planets are male Gods in India.
        While Earth is Goddess.

14. Excellent

15. ‘howling the hues’

    Wonderful line ☺️

16. Nicely done

17. Ah lovely! Such a pure wordplay 🤩

18. Beautifully writ, Bjorn. Among my favorites of yours!

19. Fabulous wording. I especially like, “moonminded
    mindlessly mesmerised” and “howling the hues.” She definitely has you in a trance.

20. Well done, Bjorn. I think we all get enamored by sequins!

21. Obviously she has a grip on you. I suggest you make her cultural … – (varg att vara?) – 🦁

22. There’s a fine madness in that moonlight! My dad tells me his father used to go around pulling the shades when there was a full moon so that no one caught the frenzies. What he sorely missed.

23. In the words of Ian Dury (Hit Me With Your Rhythm-stick) “It’s nice to be a lunatic…”

24. Oh, wow! Love the flow and of course the alliteration!

25. “I am tethered to sequins.” Love it! I missed the Mr. Linky link but published a link on the reular site. The boycott messed me up on my posting…Not that I haven’t missed the cutoff date before. So, we are on the moon now, right?

26. Beautiful.

27. It’s beatiful!

28. I really enjoyed reading your poem Moonmind, Bjorn. The way you describe the moon feels personal and intimate, almost like a love poem, and it captures the obsession and pull the moon has on the speaker in a captivating way. I regularly review poetry, past and present, and I’ve shared your poem, which you can find at this link. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to seeing more of your poetry. Best, Adam
