it’s warm and mellow
she prances and pirouettes
her name is Selene
she has a strawberry glow
and she is captivating
~The moon and I have a secret. She knows the reason why I’m smiling~
— Sanober Khan
she has two faces
and she goes further away
it’s frosty silver
and then she dances again
the next time she’s moon bathing

It’s a Tanka Puente – gorgeous!
Thanks to Colleen for the inspiration to write syllabic poetry.

I loved yours too. I tried to post yours, but it disappeared (again).
This is what I said: Oh wow, lovely… vampires… yes!

This is beautiful, Chris. I love how you gave the moon a personality! I’ll be sharing more information on the tanka and the forms before the submission period for Sunflower Tanka. Tanka poems should be written in the first person, but we’ll go over that later.

That’s interesting about the first person, I must read up about that. Maybe I will rewrite that little poem sometime. I will look forward to see what information you will bring us. Thanks so much, Colleen.

Flaming June? Too hot in the top half, and especially around the equator. (I should think)
