    Full Moon Night

    Full Moon Night    Tonight When I dance around a bonfire Wild, unrestraind and free Dressed only in starlight Blame it on the moon!   Tonight When I chant ancient rhymes Sing the song of my soul To the rhythm of my heartbeat  Blame it on the moon!   Tonight When I roam the...

    • Great write Elke….the moon has a lot to answer for but not quite as much as our minds.🙏

      • Thank you very much for reading and writing such a kind comment, dear Peter! I think Lady Moon doesn’t address our mind in the first place. She speaks directly to our heart and soul, and inspires our creativity and intuition.

    • The perfect piece for our extra bright sister above! How you began each cinquain with “Tonight” is very momentous, with an unexpected surprise at the end. This made me smile an ol’ cheshire grin. Wonderful write!

    • OK – It’s your fault. It was a great night for a naked dance, So is tonight. Wish you were here. 😉

    • Beautifully penned, Elke. Excellent write my friend with great flow. The words dance to the beat. Appreciate you.

    • I’d like to speak in defense of the Moon… 🤣

      Sappho, I love how your dance around the bonfire leads to the fire of passion and that you take full credit for your desire!!! I think we humans have always loved howling at the moon and our desires for intimacy. May our howling and intimacy make the moon shine full and bright!!!!

      Curt

    • Yes, dear Curt, in full moon nights the atmosphere is filled with magic. Our hearts are wide open and ready to give and receive love and passion. Let’s make magic happen!
      I bow to you with gratitude for your constant, supportive comments and for sharing your thoughts! 😊🙏🏼

    • Hahaha, nice, makes us ask ourself if wiccans were the original hippies, tight

    • Oh! If we had reading lists, this would be on it! The passion, the whimsy, the movement…amazing! Absolutely a keeper!

    • Thank you so much for your awesome comment, dear Willow! My deepest gratitude 🙏🏼

    • Brilliant imagery. You bring this to life.

    • You are not the only one who got enlightened like this, and the truth it’s not that we are not smart, or can be easily deceived, in fact we are more intelligent than this, it’s just that we don’t think in their ways, or/and that our hearts doesn’t feel like theirs, but we learn don’t we? These incidents teach us that life is not like us or our hearts, how we think or feel, there is goodness and there is badness.

      • How extraordinarily write You always seem to me, to be .. Bless You dear Light💕 You make my grey days seem golden 😎🌻💛👍

    A Little Less

    Everyone on these streets  wants to be a blade  the men who slit throats   have time on their side,  what use a shotgun  against twelve cleavers?    Grace and humility  unwrapped Christmas gifts  at the foundation of tree,  and yet, they still wonder  Why santa is such a cunt?    Tears fall like Elvis tears  yet to know you...

    • This has anger and sadness at what people have fallen for.

    • damn. No sharp instruments for you. Yet your pen is cutting!

      • They only let me eat with a spoon – no knives or forks in sight. Knife crime is off the scale over here and it’s utterly depressing. Teenage gangs. This poem just doesn’t convey what I really wished to convey / articulate and the xmas metaphor doesn’t work.

        • many times when we write out an idea, it goes into a totally different direction, etc, than we imagined. It doesn’t mean it is less. It just shows that we are multi-faceted thinkers.

    Change Of Season

    Dusty relics of forgotten lore Hidden behind lock and key Shadows rise to hit the shore While dreams wash out to sea   Stillborn inside a think tank Where ideas get thrown around  An empty stare becomes blank Till lightning strikes the ground   Archaic riddles flow like wine Ambitious...

    • ”Stillborn inside a think tank”

      That alone cooked the cerebral synapse…
      Here you go … still throwin poetic anchors into
      this sea of rhapsodic artistry

      Much respect always
