June 19: Up

finally looking up 

waxing half moon

soaring hawk

June 16: Farmer’s Market

farmer’s market

she praises

last night’s crescent moon

March 25: Mystery

early moonrise

some kind of bird

wailing in the meadow

February 27: Moon again

waxing moon rising
right where you'd expect it
home town

February 18: Starry night

Certain revelations—

old moon in the new moon’s arms

and all those stars

February 3: Moonrise

Inspired reflection:

watching the moon rise

at the poetry reading.

January 29: Pregnant moon

Gestating moon,

what will you give birth to

two cold days from now?

January 18: New Moon

Slender new moon.

Deer stretching their necks to feed

on cedar boughs. 

January 3: Moonset

Sky flushed with sunrise.

Behind the retirement home

setting moon still bright. 

December 30: Arctic story

Story with polar bears.

Halo around the moon

beautiful, chilling. 

December 24: Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve, after dark.

First glimpse of the moon

we’ve had in days.

November 29: That sky

Hazy gibbous moon
holding itself aloof
from the lurid sunset.

November 25: Last one in

After sunset—

bright half-moon rising,

one last dove flying to roost. 

November 21: Light in the darkness

facing down the darkness

at the end of the street

hazy crescent moon

November 7: Moonlight

Awake to moonlight

so bright through the bedroom blind

I think it’s morning.

October 31: Halloween

Halloween party.

Long walk home after dark

lit by a spectral moon.

September 28: Beauty enough

Heron preening

under the daylit half-moon.

What more do you need?

 

September 25: Lunar photography

After nightfall

it's all out of focus--

trying to shoot the moon.

September 12: And so it goes

waning moon

boughs of ripening apples

long walk alone

September 2: Head Harbour

heart of stone

exposed by low tide

at the mercy of the moon
