Notes About The Poem

Monday, my wife and I went out for a walk in the full moon of October. At one point
we stopped, and she turned to look up at the moon, as if in a dream, I saw her....

===========

Bathed


hidden, I watched — the full moon gathered only for her
as October softened, she bathed, beauty

Hello Gershon, I always feel that the Lord gave me my wife, who has blessed me in so many ways. Over the 45 years of knowing her, she has been the focus of well over 100 poems during that time. Autumn Blessings, Gershon, Daniel

Daniel, Sincere heartfelt thanks for reading, considering and of course your flattering comments on a work “Somewhere” On Foot 1and 2 which is very close to my heart. I don’t know whether you have read the other extract but thank you if you did. Your Imagist poem is absolutely stunning in its scope and detail. A concise masterpiece Howard

Dear Anne-Lise, I would always tell my three daughters when they went off to college to look up at the full moon, and that same full moon is the one I am looking at right now. Yes, I love an autumn full moon. Blessings, Dear Anne-Lise, Daniel
