Forgetfulness: Billy Collins

I love the animation, effects, and editing of this. Those white masking effects are effective; I’m redundant. It’s an animation of a poem by Billy Collins. The poem is about forgetfulness. I was just talking to a friend recently about how the moon was a certain sliver and color that night and that there was a song lyric on the tip of my tongue(that I used to know by heart). It was a pink moon.

From the Farmer’s Alamanac,

Full Pink Moon – April This name came from the herb moss pink, or wild ground phlox, which is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring. Other names for this month’s celestial body include the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and among coastal tribes the Full Fish Moon, because this was the time that the shad swam upstream to spawn.
