April 11: "Hotel Room," Poetic Response, "Lunar Eclipse in a Hotel Room"

Billy Collins travels . . . 

Hotel Room

by:  Billy Collins

Unlike

the breakfast menu,

I had no desire 

to be hung

outside

before 2 a.m.

Sometimes, I have a lot to say about Collins' poems.  Sometimes, I have just a little.

Saint Marty's poetic response for today . . . 

Lunar Eclipse in a Hotel Room

by:  Martin Achatz

2 a.m.

I look out

my window

watch the moon

skinny dip

in the deep

lake of night.
