    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!!!!

    • 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 🙏🏼

    • Chère C.,
      What a beautiful write!
      Love it that you wrote it.
      Love it even more that you’ve posted it.
      I tried to single out which sentence drew me in.
      But I can’t.
      I’ll read it again tomorrow.
      Until then….

      Kind regards, Gus

    • “Sanctuary in a smile”. After the “lust’ settles and there is just the warmth holding each other, it is the “smile” that says everything and how you can stay in that moment forever. It’s that smile that tells you you are home; where the momentary “lust” becomes more.

      I enjoyed reading your poem Crimsin.

      Curt

    • well this is quite grand. It’s like you were fighting the urge of feeling overwhelmed. So you wrote out an incantation to ward off the bad spirits? You slayed it!
      Really interesting write, Crims. Very much so.

      • good evening dearest Styxian thank you graciously these are just feelings and fears I try to always write in a current mindset I’m happy it worked for you have a beautiful Evening ❤️

    • Oh! This is good, Brenda. Right up my alley.

      • hello dearest Adagio thank you graciously it’s so funny to me it happens to us a lot and I swear I didn’t even peak at your poem till after ❤️have a great day…

    • sometimes, even the sun cannot help when a “cynical fact sarcastic lament” is involved, but becomes magnified when the day is grey. and sometimes there are only vague answers to our ceaseless whys, and yet we cannot help but ask for them. Ironic isn’t it? we are born, we live, we die, and in between these events, there is only the moment and what we do with each one of them. Did we only exist? Or did we make a difference?

      Thanks for your poem, Crimsin. I enjoyed reading it and where it led me.

      Curt

    • Powerfully penned, Brenda. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.
