Moon, with Raven

 


After rain, I gazed into a puddle
to see my future.
There was a raven picky-toeing
around the moon.

Blue, all around her serene
silver countenance -
peace in my heart,
gazing down, gazing up
at my two moons.

I gazed into a puddle
and found my present.
There was a raven picky-toeing
around the moon.

A little something for The Sunday Muse

    I love "picky-toeing!" Such a perfect way to describe it! I loved this photo, it is just as you wrote, the blue serene, silver, and "peace in my heart."

    Love it. Makes me think of Song of Crow, novel written from a crow's pov.

    I had to smile about the raven picky-toeing around the moon. There is a sense of peace, especially after the rain that formed the puddle.

    This was crisp, and I loved picky-toeing — and the concept of a double full moon night. Well written Sherry.

    I especially like these lines:
    "peace in my heart,
    gazing down, gazing up
    at my two moons."

    What you see is all you will get. I like it all, I like your "Picky-toeing" word.
    I googled it and found about only you, and for a reason I couldn't trace, our Annell who used to write with us.

    My favorite part:
    "gazing down, gazing up
    at my two moons."
    I love how water gives us double beauty.
