not quite white in eastern sky
near the horizon

I found “white” difficult to work with. You slid “white” quite nicely into that slice of moon. 🙂

Very nice, Richard. I thought the phrase “slender crescent moon” was very elegant somehow.

I saw this manifestation of Luna hanging over Montana yesterday on my way to work. Excellent description, Richard.
