Ann Gilmour Poet Rhyme

A Pregnant Moon

I await with great excitement the arrival of a Super Moon
Ascending in the western sky a spherical rubicund ethereal balloon
Appearing so much larger as she rises close to earth
A beautiful pregnant lady who is waiting to give birth

I gaze at her for hours; I am spellbound; I am rapt
As she draws me up beside her I am happy to be trapped
There is something mesmerizing, that she radiates to earth
Her circumference daily shrinking; her magnitude, her girth
 
I awaken whilst the skies are black before the crack of dawn
Praying for a cloudless night, or I will feel so woebegone 
Bewitching hour fast approaching; eclipse begins concealment
For to witness this phenomenon leads to absolute fulfilment

An image truly out of this world and clearly unsurpassed
So please ensure a clear black sky, no snow or rain or overcast

Caren Krutsinger January 19, 2019 at 6:11 PM Love your imagery of this beautiful moon, Ann. Keep on keeping on, the optimism is shining through Luna in this one. Ann Gilmour January 20, 2019 at 7:33 AM Yes I am always drawn towards her and in the early hours of Monday, between 4.40am until 5.43am I hope to witness the total eclipse of the super wolf blood moon as she turns red, so fingers crossed we have a clear night as the next one is not until 2029, so I could be on my next journey by then! Kindest thoughts Ann xx
