National Poetry Month: Pink Moon (6 of 30)

It's National Poetry Month. I will be posting a poem each day. No theme. I'm just going to follow the spark each day, wherever I might find it. It's bound to be messy.

Pink Moon

In early hours of morning,

you sneak into the blue of sky

watching pansies pop,

phlox flower, daffodils dance.

Soon you will spring

into the ebony sky,

illuminating the darkness,

waking the night.

You carry many names:

Pink Moon, Paschal Full Moon,

Breaking Ice Moon, Frog Moon,

When the Ducks Come Back Moon.

Today you watch with curiosity,

listening to a feathered chorus,

calling you into the night,

in song.
