"I want you to think about the October full moon and take inspiration from the different names it’s been given in different places."

"I’d like you to choose one of these moon names, and write a moony poem inspired by it:


.Traveller’s
.Blackberry
.Gopher Looks Back
.Hunter’s
.Blood
.Seed Fall
.In Ivy
.Kindly


Seeds fall and scatter
into the earth.  You
cannot see them 
until they spring up 
into crops, flowers, 
fruit.  They ripen 
under an October full moon.

    I like, Sara. Your write reminded me of the Eucalyptus plant that sprung out beside a bedroom window at our house. We didn’t know the seed was planted, perhaps the bird or varmint didn’t know either that it was a carrier. Its flowers are a pretty pink.

    There’s more going on underneath the earth then I’m sure you and I understand Sara the miracle of growth from seed is always fascinated me. Fact is all growth fascinates me, it’s some kind of proof for some kind of miracle. Enjoy this poem well written my friend.

    A beautiful poem Sara. I am always amazed that seeds and bulbs seem to know just the right time to germinate and spring forth.
