Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 The Moon Eyed People


When the Cherokees first came to

Appalachia, already there

Were some albino humans who

Were of small stature and did bear

Huge blue eyes sensitive to light.

Thus, Moon Eyed People were their name

By the Cherokees, seen at night,

When out of their home caves they came

To hunt and fish for food to find.

The Cherokees apparently

Became concerned, cause undefined,

And made the Moon Eyed People flee.


Conjoined in a statue of stone,

Two Moon Eyed People still be shown.
