August 25 in Pen Pal--and the waters of the moon

[asakiyume]

Yesterday I neglected to post what happened on August 25 in Pen Pal, so I will tell you today. Kaya's memories took a dark turn:

I won’t write more just now. I don’t like recalling those next hours and days. If I start to, the memories spring to life too real, too vivid.

. . . On a more pleasant note, what is your favorite lunar body of water?

Here is a handy list to choose from. I think I like the Sea of Vapors and the Ocean of Storms. The lakes are also good: there is a Lake of Autumn, and for those of you in the Southern Hemisphere, a Lake of Spring, and also lakes of perseverance and forgetfulness. There is a Marsh of Epidemics and a Bay of Rainbows.

The original Latin term is Spumans, from which comes the equally evocative spume -- the drizzle of foam that meets you as you walk into the waves.

And it makes a lilting sound with another lunar name: Seething Bay and Foaming Sea...

I'm thinking these could make really lovely song lyrics.
