Under the spell of the Pink Moon

 

Pink moon, rising above the Great Lake

Blue our sun-freckled faces with waves

Soft as lavender, we are star lights


Pink moon, rising above the Great Lake

Draw care & patience on our hands

We are red-berried by nectar & bees


Pink moon above the Great Lake

Lavish our words with joyful birdsongs

We are wildflowers, lush & lusty



*Great Lake - refers to our Ontario Lake.   We visit the lakeshore every weekend.

  2. Lovely Grace... I like the 'We are' device - "...red berried by nectar and bees" and "... wildflowers lush and lusty" Very effective...

  8. Beautiful imagery -

    Soft as lavender, we are star lights

    I remember seeing a lavender field once when I was in Ontario. It seems like so long ago but, the image has stayed with me.

  13. How stunning, Grace. You are so very gifted.

    “Blue our sun-freckled faces” (I love that the speaker and friends might be sea creatures—mermaids perhaps)
    “Draw care & patience on our hands” (what a beautiful prayer)
    “We are red-berried by nectar & bees” (this makes me picture blushing cheeks peeking out of the water)
    “Lavish our words with joyful birdsongs” (I love this image of there maybe being a bird sanctuary on the moon, poured out to song-skim the water)

  16. I miss that lake, and will be sure to visit it at Youngstown when we travel to New York in July. I even hear there's a possibility of the border opening by the 21st. If it actually happens before we head home, I think we'll cross at the falls so I can take my wife into the gorge at Niagara Glen.

  17. I have part of the Baltic Sea close to where we live, and water close is always great. No Pink moon when daylight lasts forever.
