Haiku: Full August Moon

A Full August moon
Face of hope and secret dreams
Beaming promises

moonrise brings laughter
among the nightfolk
hopes for a better tomorrow
for those who fear the dark

Poem: Old Mother

Recalling moons, adrenaline,

Solitary wine and stories
Penned in prose and poem
Internal chat...chant
Stretch and stand and dance
The milky Aradian veil

Illuminating sheer passion

Perpetual desire and eternal

Expectation

Dreams Unfettered

Unexpected, underestimated

Tiptoe through life, or charge like

Proverbial China shop cattle

Retrospective, motherhood

May have been better served

By more of dance and chant

More of moons and mystery

And less of whatever the world

Places, unrelenting, upon the

Shoulders of motherhood,

The backs of the women

Destined to be remembered

Faulty, guilty, forgetful

Motherhood may have been

Better served another glass

Of cheap wine and the pleasure

Of a cherry cheroot under

The full moon, naked
