Full moon on Christmas
Werewolf chasing Santa's sleigh --
   A howling good time




Not for any contest.  Just wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a great New Year!...

Twas a full moon shining on a cool summer night
And hound dogs were howling at its silver shadowed light.
I heard but a whisper on the cool evening breeze,
Twas the voice of a woman I used to chase and tease.
 
Our love was forever, at least...

I went to the doctor one day in June
I just wanted to keep my heart in tune
He had me take off my clothes
Then told me to touch my toes
And then he caused me to howl at the moon...

The Full Moon Makes Faces Tonight 

Gazing out my picture window on this darkest of night,
The full moon shone sky-high with the brightest of light.

I spied its eldritch contours and its dark areas whole,
As this lucent orb made faces at me from pole to pole.

Methinks...

Almost a month since that fateful night
That I was bitten under the full moon's light.
I am still here but with a yearning
And wonder why a fever is burning.

I feel pulled out into the night's air
Hoping that someone will hear my prayer.
I look up into the...

Tonight I bathe
   beneath your light
that's touched me
   once again.
Where in your glow
   I feel the flow
that runs inside
   my veins.
So cloudless sky
   please tell me why
my thoughts of you
   come and go?
On...

Midnight, the pearl shines
Moonlight streams through like hope
Miracles arise...

She adored rainstorms and roses
love notes he left...

Eye of the night sky
Wide open with cloud-like brow
Guide me on the path....

Night of full moon sky rise
Bathing all in soft white light embrace
Moon face reflecting from still lakes and ponds
Casting gentle sharp shadows   
Taking control of tides
Lighting the way for those at sea
Glinting from lovers staring eyes...

The Full Moon

The wide ocean moved, like a living creature all by itself, yet full of even more living creatures. The schools of fish... swimming with the dolphins, being chased by sharks, and so on were all, part of the deep water landscape. Whales, swordfish,...

Half of a full moon in the sky,
Riding on the tides of the night;
Glowing from an horizon so high,
Half of a full moon ever bright.
 
Riding on the tides of the night,
The earth passes by with a smile;
Half of a full moon ever bright,
Always a sight...

The light of the moon slivered upon her hair,
The calm breeze flickered the lanterns dim glare,
Followed by a gust blowing it out with a flare, 
The heavens opened up with stars everywhere,
Playful eyes swimming as they stare,
Taffeta laid and her beauty now bare,
Sensual caress of...

Her face is wrinkled, cratered, and scarred;
It’s far from flawless; agèd; hard.
But when the night is right, she’ll overflow,
For about her is an indelible glow;
A glorious white that lights the sky
As I kiss her surface with my distant eye,
And stretch out my fingers for a...
