For Willow's prompt at Tanka Tuesday... Write about the October super moon and how it makes you feel
A COMBINED PROMPTS POEM
For Sumana's prompt at What's Going On : Ekphrastic poetry, to write a poem based on a painting.
a bright super moon
electrifies the night sky
she writes by the sea
consoling letters of love
devotion strength and hope
the moon
lights the waves
sending sweet messages
to the one she loves and admires
always
lights the waves
sending sweet messages
to the one she loves and admires
always
This is perfect Rall , I feel the moon taking the message and carrying it across the see and taking it to someone special.
ReplyDeleteLovely choice of song by Crowded House. Here is another one by Queen .

Beautiful painting...such a peaceful scene. It must be wonderful to sit oceanside and write letters by the light of the moon!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful. That moon was incredible. I caught a glimpse of it one four a.m. and it took my breath away.
ReplyDeleteOoops my comment vanished! I love the brightness of the scene and the sweetness all around. I envy her seaside balcony! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI like the story the painting expresses to you, "consoling letters."
ReplyDeleteI like the song too. Sweet!
I love your moon - it shines right off the page :) Jae
ReplyDeleteLove the poem Love "a bright super moon, electrifies the night sky" That painting is my dream A cottage with a porch at the seaside" and love crowded house with Neil Finn from NZ a blend from Australia and NZ
ReplyDeleteThis tender piece of writing is beguiling.
ReplyDeleteThat painting is so much like a vivid dream I had some years ago, Rall. It was so amazingly real I had to try to capture it in my sketch book the next day. Unfortunately, that sketchbook was stolen (amongst other things) when our house was burgled shortly after. I still hope to find it one day, returning tο me like a homing pigeon. Lovely poems and perfect for the images you've chosen.
ReplyDeleteLovely imagery.
ReplyDeleteI love the painting and your poetry, Rall. I love the movement of the water!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem, Rall!
