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 19th January 2019 Standard Contest 163 Sponsor: Brian Strand 1st PLACE

Love your imagery of this beautiful moon, Ann. Keep on keeping on, the optimism is shining through Luna in this one.

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!
