"September – Harvest Moon

The Harvest Moon most commonly occurs in September, but the name goes to the full moon closest to the autumn equinox, which can fall during October once or twice every decade.

The name was given to the September moon by Native Americans because it marked when {corn} was supposed to be harvested.

This year the full Harvest Moon takes place on September 6 at 8.02am"

Kinda cool since the poem was written on September 6.

Moonlight Delight, Bananas and Apples

“P recise Aurora
 A sea of fertility
 S haring the lunar cow flown
 S ince God only knows
 U nknown the core could be cheese"
 S urmised the Man in the moon


"P resently Luna
 A sea of storms, clouds, showers
 S haring that has become known
 S upreme only knows
 U nbeknown how much gold there be"
 S poke the Lady in the moon

Two versions! Both fun to read. I like the "unknown the core could be cheese" and "unbeknown how much gold there be" :)
