Notes About The Poem

La Luna

marvelous moonbeams
I stand in luna's spotlight
cloudless sky enchants


I talk to the trees
my moonlight soliloquy
just the moon and I

Nothing better than walking on a path or road with your husband or partner under a full moon, no need for a torch! We go for long walks in the Kruger Park, but within the restrictions of the camp we are staying at. You can hear the animals so beautifully - it is so peacefully quiet. Blessings, and hugs, Jennifer. A lovely write,

What is really amazing is that the moon just hangs around - night after night - yet continues to fascinate generation after generation. Well done, Jan! Aloha! Rico

Very lovely Jan. You found the perfect picture to enhance your words too, unless this is also an Ekphrasis. If for a contest it should do wonderfully! Blessings xxoo

Reminds me of the song Clint Eastwood sang in "Paint Your Wagon". A pretty double dose of haiku.

So that’s you, me and Prince Charles then. Don’t you just love the way those trees listen and never answer back (although I once had one that kept saying ‘Who?’). Spent many nights on river banks (fishing... I’m not a weirdo) with only the moon for company so I felt and recognised the atmosphere in your smashing poem. All the best, Jan. Terry

Jan Allison

Thanks Terry, I can imagine how wonderful it is to go fishing by moonlight:-) hugs Jan xx By writing this poem I was just trying to prove to folk there is more to me than a humourist/poop poet :-) hugs jan xx

Thanks JCB we have little light pollution here and when the street lights go out at 1am (and earlier in some roads we walk on during out midnight walks) the sky is so amazing to observe with the stars being so spectacular, thanks so much for the fave I do appreciate it:-) hugs jan xx
