softly
we mount the icy stair --

darkest in its depths
lightens our cautious step

moonviewing
nobody shows up
but the moon

another full moon
the same old
love affair

under a waxing harvest moon
in a field of crickets
a man talking to himself

Tito








harvest moon --
wishing for it to fall
butter side up

Melissa Allen










harvest moon
I knead the bread on
grandma’s board

this pumpkin
as full as that, harvest
moon

resilient moon
beams of hope and strength
on two blue columns

silver moon
through autumn leaves

US Open
auntie sam wants you…
powering Pisces moon

match point
the distance between
this moon and that

The full moon sets
as the sun rises
I face north
to follow a highway
a line on the earth
to separate seasons

maikindazen








a correspondence
til the end of my days
to the one
with whom I'm smitten
harvest moon

slow-is-fast








Full moon
Blowing past
In the gale

Brian Pike








somehow
our shrinking shadows touch--
harvest moon

Alegria Imperial








full September moon
shining into my room
love dreams

    under a waxing harvest moon
    in a field of crickets
    a man talking to himself -

    Did you watch the Presidential Debate, Tito?

    Actually, 54% of those polled were listening to Ron Paul.

    And the gap is ever widening . . .

    My goodness, the theme of love runs through this month's party!

    And they say spring . . .
