Jeanne Mcgee Poet Free verse

Halloween Blue Moon

My time is coming near to full
I wait in the shadows
Of full moons past
The Halloween moon pull
on Metonic time
Rises full once every
Nineteen years
To raise the night liquid
Ghouls to roam
Through shrouds of blight
Outlined stark
Against a demon night
Blackened crow flies
A warning in slow circles
My heart in a waiting chant
As my time to light all hallows eve
Creeps across baron souls
Erected witches fly
Shielded from scornful glance
To stir desires blazing fire
The ancient’s rites to dance
Circles ringed in candlelight blood
As the mist rises to grab
My soul the glorious passing arc
Too soon fades into morning 
My shadow life to start counting
The days and nights to harvest true
October moon blue

Caren Krutsinger September 27, 2019 at 1:07 AM Your imagery has me smiling, thinking about how fabulous this moon will be a year from now! Jeanne Mcgee October 5, 2019 at 2:51 PM We'll have to have a PS contest written on that night...

Andrea Dietrich September 25, 2019 at 6:14 PM oh wow, I did not know this about the full moon. So when is the next one?? Very cool poem, Jeanne. I wrote one that seems so simple next to yours!! Hope you get a great win with this. Jeanne Mcgee September 25, 2019 at 7:24 PM And I think it is usually better in poems to be simple and more feeling. But I was surprised about not having a full moon on Halloween but every 19 years too. Jeanne Mcgee September 25, 2019 at 7:23 PM The almanac said next year, 2020!
