Gazing at the blood moon turning red during the lunar eclipse, she was mesmerized to see how the sun reflected the colours of our earth, such a rich red-brown beauty in the sky.

trees in garished robes
hues of reds fall silently –
moon holds centre stage

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

  2. I missed watching it.

    You know when I got home form work I noticed that there was total darkness everywhere made more poignant because we were in black out too. Some minutes later I saw through my window that my compound had sort of brightened and my mom commented that we had a full moon. But I never went out to see it. I never knew we were experiencing the lunar eclipse! Oh yes! And my chance at witnessign another beauty of nature sent up in smoke. 🙂

    1. I don`t remember if I saw it in 1982 and I don`t have t.v. or listen to radio but fortunately I found out on fb and at work we all went up to the roof to see the moon turn red:) You still have another chance in 18 years…me, not sure I will still be around.
