I once read a poem, probably written in the 19th or early 20th century. It is a dramatic poem, and I have heard it recited with a musical background.
Roughly, one of the lines is something like 'the moon is white instead of yellow' or visa versa. It made so much sense to me in the mental state I was in at the time.
Can anyone remember that poem?
Many Blessings

I do remember lyrics from an old moody blues tune
...that might have been from a poem
Cold hearted orb that rules the night, removes the colors from our sight, red is grey, and yellow white, but we decide which is right and which is an illusion.

Yep, that's the one.
Thank you so much! I thought it was a poem that had been written by Frost or one of his cronies.
Thank you.

It's from the album...
Days of Future Past... much longer that those two lines... enjoy!

Just starting my T journey
I was just starting my T journey; wrestling with all the uncertainties and guilt. I was a Fundy Christian at the time and me in skirts certainly did not fit with going to Kenya as a missionary. LOL Somehow in my drug induced haze, I thought the poem had been written by a really famous old poet. Actually his verse is quite good, and thought provoking.
Later while sitting in my study, contemplating my doom, it inspired me to imitate the style and write a truly pitiful poem that I shared with Beth. Those were truly awful times, and it is a wonder that I lived through them. I nicked a front tooth on the barrel of my pistol one of those nights.
Happily, all that is past, no more drugs, no more gun oil in my mouth, lots of friends, and those who deserted me are steadily growing dimmer in my past. Yup, all in the name of JEZUS BROTHER ! Now, let's bring out that holy wine there!

Moody Blues Fans
This is like the third Moodies reference I've seen in a very short while.
How many Moodies fans are there on this site?
There are many of us in that age group and many Brits.

best cover of a Moody Blues song EVER!
Nights in White Satin by The Dickies:

They also do wonderful covers of THE SOUNDS OF SILENCE, the Banana Splits theme song, and EEP OP ORK AH AH (from The Jetsons).
Back in the late 70's/early 80's I saw the Dickies many times at the Whiskey au Go Go & other scuzzy Hollywood venues.
Like their east coast pals The Ramones, they did/(do?) punk rock without all the bullshit & angst, that's just FUN!

(And I do listen to the Moody Blues On the Threshhold of a Dream occasionally, but not as often as the Dickies Stukas Over Disneyland...)

No such thing!
You can't "cover" a Moody Blues song, the best you can do is 'try' to imitate them. Like Emerson, Lake and Palmer or Phil Collins, their sound is unique and distintive and it permeates their music. Try to cover them and all you get is a hack job.
I went outside once. The graphics weren' that great.
Yes, but do the Moody Blues
...have a song about a talking penis that segues beautifully into a The Who tribute?

Moody Blues
I had a great time last summer when I got to see them in concert for the first time ever. They've added a couple of backup musicians who have been with them for the last few years.
According to Wikipeida, Norda Mullen has been with them since 2002 to do the flute parts as well as other things done by Ray Thomas before his retirement from the group in 2002.
