TESTING MY NERVES

Shake.
Quake.
Dry mouth.
Sweaty hands.
Can’t relax, can’t rest --
It must be time for my math test.
Yep, that's another Fib (this one fitting in for both National Poetry Month and Math Awareness Month).
I'm posting an original poem each day in April in celebration of National Poetry Month. Links to this and other poems here on GottaBook (and I post all year round, because poetry is NOT just for April!) are collected over on the right of the blog under the headline "The Poems".

For the month of October, sometimes November, the Blood Moon or Hunter's Moon is the first full moon after the Harvest Moon after the Autumn equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. What is special about the Blood Moon and Harvest Moons? They rise later from one night to the next which lessens the period of darkness from sunset and moonrise.
Therefore, during the Hunter's Moon, hunters track their prey by Autumn moonlight, and during the Harvest Moon, farmers could continue to work their fields, both storing up food for the winter ahead, thereby earning their special names.
For this year, Hunter's Moon will rise Friday, Oct 26th. At 12:52 the moon will be full, EST. Seven hours later, it will be closest to the earth. This will be the largest and brightest full moon for 2007!
Too bad it couldn't light the way for Trick-or-Treaters at Halloween in just a few days!

“Have you guys seen what Acey and Z-Bot did over at Gamepowa? They’ve got a Video Game Store that is packed with everything! It’s got mostly video games but there must be a thousand things in there you can buy!”
“Yeah and they gots all the ones that they did reviews for on the front page but there’s sections too! They got Dora the Explorer and Harvest Moon and Kirby and everything! Acey says they’re gonna add Eternal Sonata after Z-bot gets back with the review stuff!”
“Check it out, folks. If you’re like us and you love those video games, you’ll find all the best ones in Space Girl’s Store! Don’t forget to vote in the survey. Over on the left side there’s a survey for our Community Discussion feature poll that we’re taking. It’s the tall red box with the gold letters. Everyone should vote once, so join in! We out!”
Ah, poor kid. The joy of NEVER having to take another math test ever AGAIN!!! -- still hasn't paled...
