Harvest Moon

Harvest Moon A fox cub barking, Shadows long across the land, Harvest Moon rising. From an old barn an owl hoots. Summer fades, this tranquil night. Barry Stebbings 21/09/16

Barry, I must admit I know very little about short form poetry, however you draw a very vivid picture with this short verse. Well done!

Hi Barry, I enjoyed Harvest Moon! It's Rick by the way and in answer to your comment, the moral (if you can call it that) is not to take things for granted, sorry I didn't know how else to reply to you, Haha. First time here for me
