Full Moon

 

In The Shadow Of The Full Moon

My Antics Are Highlighted

Scarecrows Hanging On My Wall

Shadow Dancing In The Night

 

A Dog With Barking Mouth

Bunnies With Big Ears

A Reindeer With Antlers Shown

My Wall Comes Alive

 

Through The Darkest Tallest Firs

Where They Form The Deepest Vee

That Full Moon Brings Back Memories

That Are Not to Dance Again With Me

My astrological sign of Cancer deems me to be a "moonmaiden". The shadows of moonlight on the wall engage my fancy, as the melancholy of the last two lines break my heart. Thank you for this incredible imagery that revels within me!

Isn't there a song about dancing with shadows? Perhaps you were the inspiration. Shadows, as you so well point out, may cause a little fear, but being without one is really scary!

The moon. Can be a blessing and bring back sadness. What the moon could tell. Secret kisses and dances. Wonderful poetry. You made me write a poem for the moon. Thank you John for sharing the amazing poetry.

The moon saw a lot and you are welcome John.
Your title brought me here and I'm not disappointed ;P I love the moon and everything to do with it. Your last two lines carry a certain wistfulness which really grasps at this reader. Very visual btw. I enjoyed reading this one.

Yes,a bit of melancholia that relates to the moon and those trees.

I imagine you making shadows of animals with your hand. Silhouettes. Not sure I have got the right spelling there. I also see those conifers against the backdrop of the full moon. Moon light can be mesmerising, beautiful to look at and can evoke much emotion of both the good and bad kind. Lovely lines here Dave. Must be late, your time.
