Thank you!!!
I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight, to create a sense of hunger for life that gnaws in us all.
~Richard Wright, American Hunger, 1977

Apparently when the moon looks bigger close to the horizon it's just an illusion:

Native Americans called the February moon the Hunger Moon as hunting was particularly challenging at this time of year.

Feel the hunger for a sandwich? Not sure if this type of advertising would still fly nowadays. But I have to admit that it is catchy.
I hunger
Often
But rarely do I feast
More often I must content myself
With someone else's leftovers
At a time not of my choosing
Or worse
I starve
Starve and ache
I wrote that poem in my head last month, and because I was too lazy to find pen and paper, I wrote it into my SL profile picks instead. Since then, it's probably been making people wonder what the heck it's about, or why I wrote it!
I'm not going to answer those questions here, though. Sorry to leave people still wondering. But at least now that it's written down somewhere else, I can remove it from my picks!

This week's assignment for Macro Mondays is "sparkle". Not a problem at all I thought, but it took me three hours to get the picture I wanted. Well, I am not totally satisfied, but it will do. On the right side of the image you see the outside of a grater (which to me seem like small mouths) and on the leftside there are silver beads for the extra bling bling and sparkling theme.
Thank you for your views, faves and comments! Have a wonderful Monday. HMM!
Papa Cardinal looks a little bedraggled here, but can’t take a day off from feeding the offspring, even when it’s raining.

Die beiden Jungvögel betteln nicht um fressen, sondern sie bedrängen und schreien danach.
The two young birds are not begging for food, but are pestering and screaming for it.

I took a few poses of this rather attractive cornflower... I feel a small series coming on....
