Summer Moon The full moon hid behind the night sky clouds The cars screeched, the foxes howled The moon reveals itself slowly The slugs slithered mournfully Head rested on an open palm Mind wanting an inner calm The full moon emitted an eerie light The owls hoot and take flight The moon hid behind drifting clouds Bats fly silently; winds rustle leaves loud Heart beats fast against self-will Sweat drips slowly, causing chill The full moon moves across the dawn summer sky The snails retreat in their shells warm and dry The moon looses against the dawn break Humans still asleep, the birds awake Eyes, tired, fight to become open Pen poised to write a poem Earwigs scuttle in circles all around Red, velvet rose petal falls to the ground A tired torso searches for bedclothes finally found Lying on the floor, silently they fell, made no sound Trees excrete the summer sap Water drips from a garden tap Leaving a pool of water to drain away As dawn becomes a summers day © Andrea Coltman

Oooh, such winsome strokes here, Andrea. It reminds me of reading a summer tale, and all the more descriptive.

I sense inner turmoil in this piece, Andrea, as well as a hope of surcease from inner struggles. And, as MR comments, in the last line, a hope of a new day's dawning, or, in essence, a change. :) Wonderfully composed, floating a reader on a pink moon in a gorgeous purpled world, thereby scattering reason. Something I relate to.

Moon moves...snails retreat, this is a treat to read, had to read thrice to take in atmosphere, but was worth it..

Andrea,
beautiful poetry and beautiful visual depth and expression in this one.
Love your art too perfection.
"Head rested on an open palm

Mind wanting an inner calm

The full moon emitted an eerie light

The owls hoot and take flight

The moon hid behind drifting clouds

Bats fly silently; winds rustle leaves loud

Heart beats fast against self-will

Sweat drips slowly, causing chill
"

Such depth - such hope as dawn becomes a summer's day! Well done - yet again!

The moon is still a light in the night! A matter of perspective and so very personal!
