Cream sickle, dream sickle,
wintertime moon,
you rise too late
and set too soon.
My friend Rosi wrote a haiku in response to my poem SNOW MOON. It got me to thinking about other phases of the moon and how I like to sleep more in the winter. Have you written a poem about the moon? The moon currently is waning, so it soon will be sickle shaped. Did you know that Sickle also refers to a group of six stars in the constellation Leo? Have fun writing your own poem today.
And yes, I was also thinking about food--Creamsicles.
Love those creamsicles, Joy. And this poem too, great rhythm. I love all the moon poems on David's blog this month! You should post this one. I managed a neat pic of the moon last night. Had an early drive with family to the airport & when I returned, there it was, blooming in the sky (about 5:15 this am).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion, Linda. Crazy how the mind plays tricks on me. I had forgotten totally that this month's word on David Harrison's blog was MOON, but still I've written several poems with moon in them this month. I'll have to thank David too.
DeleteI'm glad my haiku got you thinking about the moon. I love your Cream sickle, Dream sickle poem. Your mention of the sickle moon inspired me.
ReplyDeleteSickle Moon
Crooked grin in the night sky,
are you the Cheshire Cat
or a waxing crescent moon
teasing the stars to twinkle?
