  3. interesting, the relationship between moonlight and spilled milk. From a visual standpoint, this is really nice and then symbolically it's even stronger. Enjoyed this greatly. Thanks

  6. A beautiful image, and symbolically powerful. The archetypical connection between the moon and feminimity-- the cycles of life and fertility-- really make your metaphor resonate.

  9. Drinking warm milk before bed in a dark kitchen often causes spills. Moonlight is often not enough!

    Fun contrast

  10. Brings to mind also the expression 'crying over spilled milk', so has the haunting of regret about things which cannot be changed. Wistful and lovely.

  11. Others have noted the strength of the pairing of these images - I'd like to comment on the word choices, particularly on the vowel rhymes which add a great deal to the impact of this short piece.
