umbra is the fully shaded area of a shadow (think eclipse). I like the old time definition better though: denoting a phantom or ghost, from Latin meaning ‘shade.’
umber is actually what I meant to describe the clay pot, a pigment similar to ocher.

I hadn’t heard of umbra (though knew of umber). cool word. thought you’d enjoy this. I didn’t know Mooster — figured it was a nonsense word/sound but just in case threw it into google as “mooster definiton” and it came back as “a cross between a moose and a rooster.” First I’ve heard of that mythological beast or “an attractive girl you want to spend the rest of your life with.” Zooster came back as “herpes zoster”. I enjoyed the poem. Love the colors.

Yes, zooster is zoster…shingles…which I hear is very painful, hence the last line. But honestly, I like them all better as nonsense words!
