Dark fingers reach out
clutching winter’s full moon
Pocked silent orb slips through
Rising gloriously enthroned
Reflecting suns radiance

Moon Rise
Imagine
The thrill of the imagination
Takes us places we can never go
Beyond this earthly home
Out into the solar system
Wrapping our minds around the
Concept of a galaxy in a world far far away
Imagine going into the depths of the earth
“All the way to China,” as we used to say
…Our way of saying very deep
Imagine riding with Voyager
As it continues to sail out into the universe
Beyond our solar system to worlds unknown
Having paid its dues in 2012 sailing on
Singing, “I’ll fly away oh glory, I’ll fly away!”
Who are the imagineers of the present
With visions beyond this realm
Pushing the outer limits in ways yet to be
Not content to live in Earth’s isolation
Rather seeking ways to imagine
The reality of a Star Trek generation
That will stretch our imaginations even more

Moon Rise
Cooler weather brought out crowds of people today to the Waynesboro, Virginia Street Fair. Venders’ tents dotted the main street. People wondered in and out of booths with their children and their dogs. It was a great day to be outside.
Crowds milling about
Fall colors tint the Blue Ridge
Hunter’s Moon rises

Frank Tassone’s Haikai challenge is to write a poem about the Fall season and the October Hunter’s Moon that rises tonight over the Eastern Blue Ridge Mountains.
Super Moon
The Super Moon was up early. Before the sun went down this guy was already sneaking up trying to hide in fading daylight. I drove downtown thinking I could get the moon shining against the buildings. The only thing I got was bright setting sun and a faded moon. Later in the evening as the sky darkened the moon shone bright. These are my photos.
