Harvest moon

Meeting J has inspired me to re-connect with the skies, albeit slowly. My granny always referred to the phenomenon of the large moon on the horizon as the harvest moon, but I now realize that this may be only an autumnal occurrence. Nonetheless, my muse of the moment after the glorious harvest moon sighting over the harbor of my city two nights ago.




An ancient haiku:

the Full Moon
promenading the pond
the whole night through
-- Basho

And a new haiku:

I have swallowed
the autum stars
and I’m still hungry

--john stevenson
