Summer Moon

Tonight, the moon showed glowing gold
in arc across the sky.
Just two days shy of full, its face was
auburn in the sky.
Above vast smoky, flirting clouds which
danced a nighttime reel,
was this celestial, glowing face
a presage of dark seal?

Night's languid, shining sovereign drew
its veil upon the deep,
then set upon its lunar course
with all the stars a-sweep.
When next we spy those fleeting stars
will we see and declare,
"beware the eve a copper moon
lights with an omen's flare."

Skat A Date: 7/1/2015 12:25:00 AM Love the poem..SK Login to Reply Brian Baumgarn Date: 7/1/2015 4:06:00 AM Thanks, Skat, just a few lines last night as the Moon was as orange and red as a fruit. Had to write something about it. Found out on my way home from the overnight that it was smoke from fires in Northern Alberta over a thousand miles away. Nature is awesome.
