Poetry Thursday this week I'm actually following the prompt and writing a poem inspired by a photo. This was taken on March 1st at 6pm (before daylight savings!) from the parking lot of the now-defunct Mexican restaurant in Boulder Creek. (waaahh!). I was struck by how bright the moon was, and how close it seemed for this time of year, and I loved how it was framed by the tree outlines. I steadied my camera on the top of my car to get a clearer shot.

Oh, this was lovely! I love any poem about the moon and the picture was just perfect!
I am glad you are doing something creative and look forward to what will burst out of you after you get your studio back!
There's something about the moon, isn't there?Difficult to write about without descending into cliche, but I think you have succeeded. I love your photo.
"Deep in the soul of our world's myths" - that was the best!
