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.

hues of reds fall silently –
moon holds centre stage

September 27th Supermoon Lunar Eclipse

(haiku)
exudes perfection
I had nothing to capture
your glowing presence

only deity
manifests divine beauty
of this calibre

forever
etched in my memory,
divine excellence

Full Moon May 14th 2014 was a sight for sore eyes. I tried to take a photo…okay, I took many but nothing, just nothing rendered its beauty.

Update: September 28, 2015 after seeing the super blood moon and lunar eclipse last night, I have to say I was thrilled beyond words…so will use this poem to share my experience last night as well as a photo I took with my I-phone.
