Done for Carpe Diem
Inspired by Jane Reichhold’s tanka below:
oo old for new love
the moon rises each night
as I remember
the backseats of strange cars
it’s helpful light afterwards
Rising Moon
rising moon
spreading iridescence
and confetti
autumn’s breath
over our entwined bodies

On Monday night, there was a full moon. Made more glowing was the fact that we were in darkness as we had no power. Our house was bathed in an utter glitter. My third boy said ‘mummy the moon is beautiful.’ He loves animals and now am I surprised he appreciates nature? 🙂 I could only nod, stunned at the spectacle.
The next day, I woke up at 4.30 am to get us all ready for school and work. And then I saw the reflection in my window. When I looked out and up, I saw them; two lone stars, one bigger, and yes twinkling, in place of the full moon. I’ve remained speechless until now. 🙂
Lone Stars
lone stars
remnants of the full moon’s
banquet

And this for Carpe Diem prompt, Shasei (saying it as it is)
Twinkling Stars
at break of dawn
in place of the full moon
two twinkling stars
