A slightly different take on the theme this week as I have chosen to focus my attention on moons captured by pen and paper.
Two haiku - the first inspired by a piece of art that has hung in my bedroom for many years, the second by a friend who has hung around for nearly as long.
The Weary Moon by Edward Robert Hughes
at the foot
of my bed - a moon
that never fades
she sent a postcard
of the moon - promising
to visit soon

lovely both of them. I like the way the moon seems to add uncertainty to the promise in the second
felt them both.
an excellent pairing.
I feel both hope and loneliness in these. Beautiful
Writing in Faith
I like them both, especially the second, so evocative.
extraordinary! Hughes' poster is unknown to me, but fascinating and works well with the non-fading moon image.
that's a perfect combination.
I really like the second one the most but both is nicely written.
there is so much comfort & strength in your lovely offering...
i have Hughes' "night & her train of stars" above our bed! isn't his work just enchanting?!
both equally as lovely... and that picture... wow!!!!
I really enjoyed both, especially the second.
Most wonderful picture and the words, yes, they do something, half a promise every month or so, ah missed that next full moon maybe......
Both are so touching but the second especially puts me very much in mind of a long-time friend such as you spoke of.
These work so well together - and i wonder if your postcard sending friend is visiting the moon or you. Both perhaps...x
They work quite well together, speaking both of steadfast affections and happy event.
