Harvest Moons

Harvest Moons

Indian summer’s green corn moon
Sighs a shy farewell – adieu -
Days pit-a-pat through a slowly closing door.

Amber autumn quietly knocks
In harvest hunter barley moons -
Frost blows air kisses through the keyhole.

Sam, every time I read your fine poems, I am mesmerised by the beautiful images. “Frost blows air kisses through the keyhole” - enchanting line, My Friend. Love and hugs ~ Mala

Thank you my friend! I have wanted to write something on monthly names of the full moons. Brian's contest was a great impetus to start! Blessings and best regards!
