Loons and the Moon

Loons and the Moon still silver waters waters where the moon’s face glows ~ moon in silhouette two loons come calling calling out to soft moonbeams ~ weaves silver ribbons loons and moon singing singing a haunting concert ~ alabaster song 6/3/20

Thank you dear friend. As a friend of mine once said "Can't get a musical reference by you!" The song of the loon and summer nights are like PB and J - cake and ice cream - for me. So peaceful and serene. I am enjoying haiku with its requirement to paint a scene with an "a-ha" at the end in 17 syllables - a really nice contrast to the free verse I enjoy so much. Blessings!
