Notes About The Poem

The Moon Visitation

Backdoor wide open
A cream moon is coming in
Softly, like a dream.
Beyond red sun, pearly rays
in a lazy, lilac night.

Howling wind whimsy
'midst the fantasy flowers
in plum, pink and green.
Silver moon, always welcome
lending silk beauty to night.

I love the soft images. The moon, they say, is magnetic. It is captured here.

Oh what a glorious bliss it is to read your pristine poetry just in the morning, after waking up.. Gosh, it's indescribable in words how much I love this tanka poem, beautifully glowing with the spellbinding aura of Moon.. Ahh, sooo gorgeous and stunningly knitted with fascinating imagery dear Evelyn! "A cream moon is coming in Softly, like a dream", "Beyond red sun, pearly rays in a lazy, lilac night" Oh my, absolutely breathtaking! "fantasy flowers" Such softness & elegance flows in your lines
