Blue moon (haibun)

Tournesol CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI, Haibun, tanka 2015-07-312015-09-11 1 Minute

Walking home tonight she kept her head turned up towards the sky. It was night and yet the sky was so clear like daytime but as if the light had dimmed just a little. The teal blue sky looked like a sea of floating puffy runners of all shapes and sizes. Truly this second full moon was very unique, this July night. She arrived home infused with awe of that silvery moon.

blue moon rules
sky surrenders gracefully
from time to time
playing peekaboo
buried under floating wisps

Carpe Diem Blue Moon

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com View all posts by Tournesol
