Cinematic Poetry

After watching “In the Moon’s Shadow,” a lovely independent film starring Debra Lord Cooke and Elissa Piszel, I was motivated to write the poem below.

Two sisters try to take a start

at being together, not apart.

One a widow struggling with grief.

The other works hard, no relief.

A Great Eclipse takes center stage

and puts sisters on the same page.

The acting here reaches new heights.

Location shots showcase delights.

“In the Moon’s Shadow” makes us feel

that love and joy can truly heal.
