November full moon
shine on
shine bright
even from behind the clouds
you light up the night
November 13, 2016
The morning stars shine brighter in the backyard, away from the streetlights. Hello, crescent moon. Nearly new moon. Time waning.

la lune is extra beautiful tonight
glowing golden
with a halo of moonbeams
in a blue hued nighttime sky
hope you can find a moment
and moon gaze too
full dark is just now falling
perfect for sweet dreams
yet also made for howling
your choice
goodnight

Dear La Lune,
There you are.
It’s been awhile.
You’ve been obscured
by cloud cover.
Caught a glimpse
a few nights ago.
Crescent shaped then.
Saw a half moon by day.
Leading up to tonight.
When you are full
and beaming bright.
It’s been awhile
since you made me smile.
Shining with your celestial light.
I fell asleep penning this poem to you.
Stretched out on the living room couch.
Moonlight shining in the window.
Eyes shut tight until 2am,
when I moved myself to bed.
You greeted me as a new day dawned.
The dog and I begin our walk.
You met us in the morning sky.
Honey hue of nighttime gone.
Darkness faded yet you remain.
Glowing white come daylight.
Until you disappear from sight.
I’ll look for you again this night
and admire your changing shape.
Waning now.
Love,
Janean

Now the sky is brightening
As the darkest shade of navy gives way to a soothing, medium blue hue
The stars no longer visible
La lune still shines
Like a moon-ball in the sky
Even as the sun begins to ascend
Facing East there is a pale yellow glow along the horizon
Good morning
A new day is dawning

Blue and I are walking early
In the crisp cool dark of morning
Finally I get to see September’s full moon
She’s been obscured by clouds before this morn
La lune
The stars are still out too
I see Orion
(That’s the constellation I know.)

summer days
summer haze
a sliver o’crescent moon
as June began
summer days
summer haze
semicircle half a moon
as days goes by
summer days
summer haze
three-quarter moon
makes the sky brighter
as time flies
summer days
summer haze
before you can blink
the moon is full
how can that be
so many moments
have gone by
I’m keeping track
on la lune calendar
doing moon math
summer days
summer haze
next thing you know
a sliver o’crescent moon
will smile again
in July
