Rounded like an eye, smeared in milk, and as striking as ice crystals; the moon stared back at each Edaionien who glanced up to catch her beauty. It was magical to think that someone else was watching the same thing in that very moment. It wouldn’t matter if they were in the a few miles away or if they lived in a different country. The moon presented herself to all.
The woman held her breath, staring up. There was one person she wished was looking up at the glistening moon tonight. Someone she wished she could teleport to. Someone she couldn’t wait to meet. And a family she couldn’t wait to disrupt. The Dawsons.

What beautiful descriptions. A truly innovative piece. Our earth is so beautiful and majestic! I’m currently in New Zealand on a holiday over Easter and WOW, there are so many breath-taking landscapes on earth. It would be devastating to see it all be lost. I hope this story doesn’t come true! Love the backstory to Rose’s name as well. Thanks for contributing this week, A. R. Neal. 🙂
Hi, this is my first time writing something! Hope you will like it:
http://hidingbehindbooks.wordpress.com/2013/03/31/lonely/
I’m glad you joined us! Your excitement matches our own. It’s great fun to write and read the Picture it & write contributions. I really liked how you questioned that ambition about going to the moon ‘Was it just something to say,/Something to show I had some purpose,/Some goal?’ While the moon is beautiful, I think it would be dreadfully boring compared to our planet earth. Great food for thought! Thanks for contributing this week, everburningcinders. I hope to see you contribute again soon. 🙂

fabulous photo and a lovely write-up..
Thanks, nightlake! I really enjoyed your story too. I like how you used the words luminous, guiding, and brightest star to describe the moon. Great choices! Thanks for contributing this week. 🙂

I love the change in mood. From intense anxiety to a sense of relief. You portrayed the woman’s emotions well. Although…she does seem a little lonely. 😛 Thanks for contributing to Picture it & write this week, Terry!

Happy Easter to you as well and great piece this week as always ~!
Sam
Thanks for the compliment! 🙂
I loved this line ‘He savored the short moment of peace because he knew the rest of the night would be anything but the sweet sanctuary he craved.’ Ahh, I want to know what happens next! You’ve hooked me in, Sami. 😀 Thanks for contributing this week. I hope to see you again soon!
Beautiful pic of the moon and you really are a very skillful writer 🙂 You write vividly…
Happy Easter to you both and to your family!
Thank you so much! 🙂 I try my best.
My teammate Gunnar at the Undead in the Netherworld blog wrote one. Its part of an ongoing serial, so hopefully it won’t be too confusing. More Moon Madness
It’s so important to want/love children. While it is a simple thing, it is incredibly important and can truly shape a young person’s life if they do not feel love from their parents. Thanks for writing this piece and contributing to Picture it & write! 🙂

New apartment, no internet so you’ll have to make do with this for the meanwhile.
Jason looked at the moon. It shone through the clouds like it used to so many times before. He looked at it trying to remember, that men had once walked on it. That they once had the power. He then went back to work trying to fix one cable in ten thousand. To keep the towering monolith maintained, the once state of the art rocket ready, for the chance if this dying world could give up enough fuel and people able to fly her, she could soar again. And mankind would remember its past glories.
‘Like’ good luck with the new pad.
Haha, I can envision another rocket on the other side of the dying world with the scientists there madly racing to be first to return their bucket of junk to its former glory.
Good luck with your new apartment! 🙂
Yikes, fixing one cable amongst ten thousand? That would be terribly tricky. Thanks for contributing, Joe! 🙂

Thanks for the challenge! Here is my submission for this week:
http://ericmvogt.wordpress.com/2013/03/31/i-am-the-man-on-the-moon/
A lovely piece. I loved this part ‘for i must remain true/to own unique inner tune.’ I’ve always like the idea that we all have a song within each of us. Something unique and we should stick to that. We shouldn’t try to mimic others all the time. Thanks for contributing this week to Picture it & write, Eric! 🙂
Thanks! 🙂
It has been so long since I had a chance to write for this challenge – looking forward to reading lots of inspiration.
Here’s mine
http://awritersfountain.wordpress.com/2013/04/01/picture-it-write-challenge-moon/
Ermisenda – a very clever idea to use your characters the project looks exciting – I enjoyed the descriptive imagery you used.
All I have had in my head is ‘the dark side of the moon’. Had to try and get my head clear to write my attempt!
I’m glad my writing carried strength. That’s what you want, right? For the words to carry on in the readers. 🙂 Thanks for your feedback.
What a beautiful and powerful image. The moon growing in size as you empty. So very poetic and creative. Loved it, Neenslewy! Thanks for contributing this week. 🙂
I’m inspired!
That’s exactly what I was hoping for! 🙂
Uh oh. Who is this mysterious woman and what designs has she on the royal family? We do all look up in wonder at the same moon, don’t we? I liked that thought.
Here’s The Advice.
*Suspenseful music* Hopefully, we’ll find out soon enough! 😀
I always pictured the moon as a woman… It was odd to hear her being referred to as a ‘he’. 😛 A great story and I love how cute he was. This line cracked me up, ‘“You might have mentioned it,” Eric said. About a thousand times.’ Hahaha. Relatives can get like that, huh? Thanks for contributing this week, Annie! 😀
Haha, great comment! I had to think about that. For sure if you speak Spanish she’s a girl! I never really thought of it either way. Seems kind of gender-indifferent to me. The Man in the Moon is just a character who isn’t necessarily the moon itself. That’s what makes our cultural differences so important and special.
❤ Cultural differences 🙂
The moon reflects the hint of life,
A glow transmitted across space.
Bouncing to and fro’
From the surface of our home.
The moon it waxes;
And so we build towards climax,
As life rises from the ashes of
Limited space and lack of humanity.
And so the moon wanes
Collapsing inward on itself in
Never-ending cycles of to and fro
Back and forth, a representation
Of purity, where ninety percent of
All existence has a shadow,
And for one instance; for a stretch
Of time, something pure and
Attainable, is seen for what it is.
A bright, shining, white light.
Reminds me a little of Shakespeare’s usages in MSND. I like the thought at the beginning of our glow reflecting up to the moon.
I’m going to feel slow, but what is MSND? And thanks! That was a very favorite part of this poem; I write them on the fly whatever comes forth when I see the poem. I try not to think too much about it and just let it flow as natural as possible. It kind of felt like a reflection of that process.
Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Thank you, I feel silly not realizing that!
How lovely. The final line was powerful. This phrase also stuck out to me ‘Collapsing inward on itself in/Never-ending cycles of to and fro’. You painted a beautiful image! The moon was the perfect symbol. Thanks for contributing this week, Devin! 🙂
Thanks! I’m glad to get to have this exercise so I’ll keep coming. I enjoy the pictures and writing what comes to my mind at first glance. I don’t like dwelling on it to long! I love the carnal energy of instantaneous poetry. Thank you for sharing your lovely work and your blog!

My submission – Mature/graphic content.
Apologies – my dark side emerged.
Wow. This was intense, in the most brilliant of ways. It’s such a disgrace that so many people are tossed away like garbage, with no one to care for them. We live in a strange world, don’t we? Vivid storytelling. Thanks for contributing this week to Picture it & write. 🙂
lovely image of the moon and the lines you wrote are the thoughts and feelings which every person has sometime or in some moment felt and experienced.
It’s definitely a feeling I often experience while staring at the moon. Who else is watching it in that moment? Thanks, soumyav! 🙂

I really liked how you put such a romantic spin on the moon. There are many legends about the sun and the moon which are romantic. I like that idea. Lovely writing, Soumyav! 🙂 Thanks for contributing this week to Picture it & write
My pleasure to be a part to express the beautiful pic in my words
beautiful writing.
Thank you! 🙂
I love this picture
My write up for this one

What a haunting ending! I loved the finale. The description of the moon was stunning as well, as if she was a living-breathing creature. Great writing! Thanks for contributing this week to Picture it & write.

Beautiful picture. My attempt – http://jotteddots.wordpress.com/2013/04/05/shine-on-me/
I adored these two lines – ‘Waxing and waning like the moon in a dark sky – so does my faith, keeps flickering all night!/I’m like a desert bare and burnt, basking under a scorching sun. You come as rain, pour into me.’ Such beautiful metaphors. Great work! Thanks for contributing this week to Picture it & write. 🙂

The suspense you built was terrifying! Loved all the scenes spliced beside each other. I also loved how “love” could be drunk. Very creepy! Super dark, super thrilling. Another great ‘evil’ work, M. D. 🙂 Thanks for contributing to Picture it & write!
