Harvest Moon














Under the glow of a full harvest moon
she roams the night soft radiant light
seeking answers in a turquoise lagoon
on bended knee,  world of thoughts

cloak of darkness, concealing emotion
before her eyes visions flash, misty sky
reading love letters sealed devotion
spoken in a tongue only she understands

pines swaying, waiting autumn breeze
new melody stirs, tall dreaming firs
birds fly on restless wings, tree to tree
summer kiss, sultry days we'll miss

gathering song under a harvest moon
howls in the mist, wolf silently prowls
captivating  heaven & earth swoon
wooden flute, chanting praises

golden hues, dew touches her lips
stars dart across a drumming heart
removing her cloak, naked she dips
answers found  in a turquoise lagoon

posted for dVerse writing ballads
inspired last night by the glorious moon

sharing with imaginary garden with real toads

    It WAS a glorious moon, and I really like the idea of that dip in the blue lagoon--this slips along beautifully. k.

      Hi Pat,

      That moon had a hold on me last night
      I couldn't sleep as I gazed the sky
      so thought I would give it a write..

    This is a beautiful lyrical piece of writing. I think you've written to the longer ballad form - each line has four stresses - which I didn't mention at dVerse, but is a reall common variant of the 4,3,4,3 ballad form.

      Thank you so much for an interesting prompt. It was fun to write and the form was a bit different but, then again so am I. Thanks for your lovely comment.

    that turquoise lagoon took me someplace entirely other, with the harvest moon of course still shining down, but perhaps the wolf would be found elsewhere.
    very evocative. i like this a lot.

      Marian,

      That moon has been splendid this week..ah but, what would a full moon be without the cries of a wolf nearby..as he is a creature of the moon with a haunting voice.

      Sherry, so sorry you missed the moon it was glorious I didn't sleep well for two nights as I was so enchanted by the glow. I wrote this poem after gazing at the moon and I just let the words flow.
