Brenda Chiri Poet Free verse

Harvest Moon

The skies are blessed
with a spectacular magical
Harvest Moon as it sits low
on the horizon 
It's bright ambient orange 
glow at its zenith shining 
bigger and brighter
Chords of moonlight shimmer 
as it stretches out to caress the 
waters surface
Years ago its brilliant illumination 
 would announce summers end
while shedding light so farmers 
could garner their crops
Still today leaves all 
beguiled by its powerful mystic full
celestial beauty inspiring many to
attempt to do justice to
it's amazing seductiveness

John Fleming September 12, 2019 at 7:23 AM Funnily enough, a couple of nights ago whilst out on the platform driving my mover, looking for all the long distance mail, that, predictably, had been overlooked, I glanced up and saw a partially obscured but beautiful, orange coloured Moon sitting low in the sky...did'nt occur to me, at the time, that it was in fact a Harvest Moon. Nicely espoused, Brenda - enjoyed! Lots of affection. :) john Brenda Chiri September 12, 2019 at 10:29 AM Ahhh thank you so much John!;) You really do make me want to strive to write much better!
