    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!

      • My deepest gratitude for your appreciation and for sharing your thoughts about my poem, dear Detritus. 😊🙏🏼

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

      • Thank you for your sweet comment, dear Jim! We are all looking at the same moon and therefore connected!

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

      • Wonderful, that you feel the rhythm of my poem, dear Damian! Thank you so much for your awesome comment!

    • 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 🙏🏼

    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

    Abyss of Reflection

    Meaning's Paradox

    • Wow we never questioned them we tasted greed and we never questioned them. That is powerful statement. Felt it

    • Thank you..yeah we stop pushing back because they dangle a carrot in front of us..they say a few food sounding lies and we are like ok..well I benefit.. thinking selfishly short term instead of long term..and in turn we give them more power and we lose ours

    • Powerfully penned, Mstrmnd. This is excellent work my friend, amazing write. I concur. Appreciate you.
