It was a spectacularly clear night on Friday as ten of us gathered at Valori Espresso Lounge & Gallery for our moon viewing ginko along Scarborough Beach. The moon was right on time (6:30pm), revealing its red glow before rising majestically. Here is a selection of poems and photos from the night.
still night
a plover calls
the rising moon

a mullet bubbles

stars fade
tonight the moon
commands centre stage

cold night
an uptight couple
glare at the moon

fishing boats
blink on the horizion
harvest moon

full moon
who is here to howl at you?
the traffic roars

winter moon
draws the tide
like a stick figure

wind on the water
a thousand little footprints
melt into night

ebb tide silence
a passage beacon flashes
to a red lantern moon

together
on our different shores
moonrise melts the distance

waves break
coldness
laps my feet

stars fade
a hot ember moon
brands the ocean

cold night
the rising moon
pours words through my mind

street lamp
just the trunk
of a pine tree

fishermen cast
into a winter moon

clear path -
is it yours
winter moon?

following
or leading?
winter moon

moonrise
my mouth
drops open

new moon
on the path
old lovers move closer

full moon
shivering
in the shallow water

Excellent array of poems.
Very enjoyable reading
It is so amazing watching a fat moon over the water. I particularly liked your ‘mullet bubbles’ one and Andrew Phillip’s ‘wizzzz’.
It was such a fun night. Amazing moon rise.
And it was a real pleasure to have you there Andrew! G
