September 17 - Harvest Moon
Love this one!
Harvest moon ascends
Fields bathed in golden glow
Autumn breathes its song.
Beautiful! What a breathtaking scene🖤
Neil Young: "Come a little bit closer/hear what I have to say..."
I don’t think I know any Neil Young songs… but that quote sounds pretty creepy🖤
Haha! That song was my first thought as well, when I saw the Prompt... 😎👍
Harvest moon shines on
Long ago and tomorrow
Your beauty remains
Beautiful, really peaceful, I love it🖤
Yipee! Harvest moon!
Till, till, till the soil, till we…
...die from exhaustion
Ha! Well done, I love the hopeless, repetitiveness, and of course, dark humor🖤
Thus is slavery:
To be mastered by the moon
Now the sun’s a’bed.
Oh I love this take! We are kind of slaves to nature, even though we fight it🖤
A bright bald head lifts above
horizon to shine from sun’s reflection .
Day’s journey still not done until moonlight splashes cow’s milk in pail.
Ha! Lovely, a sweet little mixture of fairytale and science. I love it🖤
Selene watches -
displeased with your efforts, vows
to change face, bane you
===
Selene - Greek: Σελήνη pronounced [selɛ̌ːnɛː] seh-LEH-neh, meaning "Moon"
Poisoned by the moon, I can’t lie, I’d be ok with that end.
Celestial awe
Hecate, please, Dark Goddess
Bring more time to reap
Beautiful! Love this little prayer to witch goddess🖤
Working in half-light,
Is no fun at all, but it's,
Perfect for romance... 😎
Oh heeey, 🤭🖤
Haha! I'm glad you enjoyed it... 😎
This prompt inspired whimsical ideas!
HARVEST MOON
1. Traditional Nature Haiku:
Harvest Moon rises
Golden fields bow in whispers
Autumn's first embrace
2. Modern Senryu:
Smartphone cameras
Point at the Harvest Moon's face
#nofilterneeded
3. Metaphorical Haiku:
Celestial scythe
Reaping stars from inky sky
Night's bountiful crop
4. Humorous Senryu:
Harvest Moon so bright
Werewolves apply sunscreen now
Howling SPF50
5. Melancholic Haiku:
Lonely scarecrow waits
Harvest Moon his sole witness
To summer's farewell
6. Urban Haiku:
City lights flicker
Harvest Moon outshines them all
Concrete fields aglow
7. Romantic Senryu:
Two hearts intertwined
Beneath the Harvest Moon's gaze
Love ripens like fruit
8. Philosophical Haiku:
Time's endless cycle
Harvest Moon marks the seasons
We reap what we sow
9. Whimsical Senryu:
Moon cheese factory
Working overtime tonight
Mice dream of bounty
10. Sci-fi Haiku:
Martian settlers gaze
Earth's Harvest Moon nostalgic
New world to cultivate
A great selection! 😎
Wouldn’t it be fun to sit around a cafe table and write poetry together? *sigh*
It's such a fun format to explore, for sure. So many possibilities... 😎
Took me a few tries, even a deleted comment, to get it just right.
