December Moon


Deflating slowly
like a tired balloon
worn from night travels
across the frigid sky
the moon let out a little sigh,
and sank below the western horizon.

  7. I have been reading about the red moon, but haven't seen it.

    It looks like a tree ornament.
    Love the poem, Kateri.

  13. Thanks so much for all the comments! This moon was huge in the sky, but looked so thin and fragile...like an over extended balloon. It looked lovely, but tired...if that makes any sense. My photo didn't quite capture that, so I wrote the poem to describe what I saw...

    This was the biggest moon I have ever seen. I'm not sure why...
