Nice! I remember this. It seems so long ago, yet only yesterday!
ReplyDeletea new era begins......
ReplyDeleteA historic event scattered in moondust! Nicely Sumana!

Cool perspective, thinking of men standing on the moon gazing at the earth instead of the other way around. Moons have been on my mind of late, too.
ReplyDeleteLovely. And yes, what an experience!
ReplyDeleteA moment I witnessed on tv as it happened.
ReplyDeleteThat experience must have been on of the most amazing... Moon will soon show her face again (summer is all daylight here)
ReplyDeleteI remember all the TVs in the workplaces as with not much work done!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! Must be such an amazing experience to witness our planet from a distance that too while walking on the moon :D
ReplyDeleteBeautifully penned :D
Lots of love,
Sanaa
You know you never really think of what it was like for the man on the moon - it's always good to look at things in a different way - magical moon dust of a poem Sumana!
ReplyDeleteI was fascinated by recent images of the moon picture from behind against the Earth. We will never lose our interest in our closest heavenly body.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a different experience Sumana; an amazing journey ~

i remember this moment well. the year of woodstock, my graduation from highschool, being in the draft lottery for vietnam
ReplyDeletegracias
Such a historic event. What a wonderful haiku-esque tribute, Sumana.
ReplyDeleteFunny though, every time the landing on the moon is discussed in school, our teacher always raised a trivia about Ms Universe. It was the first time the Philippines was crowned Ms U and the question was about landing on the moon lol
The moon always evokes such wonderful gasps...
ReplyDeleteAmazing!
ReplyDeleteI used to want to be an astronaut, so I love this poem....the magic, the wonder, the beauty....the accomplishment of being able to walk on the moon. "Feet on dark moon dust"---WOW, I wonder what that feels like!!
ReplyDeleteamazing haiku
ReplyDeleteim happy you dropped in at my Sunday Lime today
much love...
Beautiful reversal and I remember it well,
ReplyDeleteElizabeth
Theses few words describe this amazing event perfectly....I remember it well as it happened....a night I will never forget as history was made.

A very cool little haiku - well rendered.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as always.
ReplyDeleteGlad you added a photo. It adds a certain added mystery to the haiku form. Nicely done. I enjoyed reading this - several times.
ReplyDeleteLovely!!
ReplyDeletecool write!
ReplyDeletei remembered i was in school when it happened, and it felt rather surreal. a man on the moon! :)
I think it would be amazing to be an astoronaut and to see the world from afar, it is amazing up close!
ReplyDeleteGreat poem, a marvel it would be to see
ReplyDeleteAmazing...being an astronaut sounds glamorous!! Lovely...
ReplyDelete...and we were all huddled around our little black-and-white TVs, oohing and aahing. Nice memory, great little poem! Amy
ReplyDeletei like to think that he's waving at me from the screen. Hello! have fun up there for all of us!!! nice creativity!!!
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine the view from up there. It just makes my heart gasp a bit to think about it.
ReplyDeleteNot only id I like the poem, but I also liked the humour in it. Thanks.
