Super Moon

I await with great excitement the arrival of a Super Moon
Ascending in the western sky a spherical rubicund ethereal balloon
Appearing so much larger as she rises close to earth
A beautiful pregnant lady who is waiting to give birth

John Watt Date: 5/8/2020 12:09:00 AM I waited until tonight to read this and send along my appreciation to my fellow moonlover, Ann! I loved 'a spherical rubicund ethereal balloon' and the picture of a pregnant moon waiting to give birth. She is a beauty tonight, our Super Moon. So orange, she looked like a ripe pumpkin. Hope you enjoyed every minute with her my dear sky-loving friend. Hugs ~ John Login to Reply Ann Gilmour Date: 5/9/2020 2:22:00 AM Ohhh I did John, but when she first rose from the sea she appeared to be a beautiful shade of pink - exquisite! So please you enjoyed my poem John, it means a great deal to me my friend. Take care and keep safe. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

Jan Allison Date: 7/24/2019 5:16:00 PM what wonderful description Ann i especially love the final two lines. On the moon theme we have had such an enjoyable time going to a lecture on the moon landing and watching the fascinating documentaries over the last few weeks:-) hugs Jan xx Login to Reply Ann Gilmour Date: 7/24/2019 5:40:00 PM Yes I have also been watching all the footage over the last few weeks, simply fascinating and I cannot get enough of it. I adore the moon and gaze through my binoculars whenever we have a clear night sky - she is totally mesmerising. Thank you Jan for your lovely comments, with kindest thoughts and moonbeam sprinkles from Ann xx
