For Open Link Night at dVerse. happy holidays to you all and happy new year!Wolf Moon
“As I always like to say, good is good forever.” Anthony Bourdain
the wolf moon begins to rise
shattered into pieces
by black branches
like a sky mounted mirror.
branches begin to whisper
tossed by high flying breezes
sounding like windchimes made from seashells,
small animal bones, broken glass –
The wolf moon crouches in the sky
sniffing the smell of the wind.

I enjoyed the visceral feel of this piece – rich writing…

I enjoyed this Toni. I especially loved the couplet that ended this poem, animating the moon to a crouching sniffing beast. Well written… 🙂
I wrote a long-form poem in 2010 featuring a wolf moon.

Love the mystery of that rising wolf moon. There is much anticipation, like a hunt:
The wolf moon crouches in the sky
sniffing the smell of the wind.
Thank you Toni for your support. Cheers for the new year!!!

Your images bring the moon to life! Sniffing the wind!
The photo makes it look like a Crystal Ball set in the trees!

I thought that too!

This is stunning. One of my favorite poems ever.
I love this image:
“shattered into pieces
by black branches”

I love the image of the moon crouching and sniffing… the moon is a wolf.

Lovely winter poem makes me want to be outside sniffing with the wolf

I love your wolf moon, Toni! I like the windshield sounds of branches compared to seashells, bones and glass, and the image of a wolf crouching in the sky.

“shattered into pieces by black branches” sigh this is so poignant! 💞

I like that wolf moon sniffing the wind.

branches shattering a mirror moon, such an ethereal feel, like the moon was so vulnerable that night

” moon begins to rise
shattered into pieces
by black branches”…
such a cool description, and now that it is written so obvious. Wish I’d written this.

Beautifully written. We feel the very tug of the moon in these words. Think will to go somewhere and howl. 🙂

I almost missed this.We had a night like this last night; ZP was perturbed at all the noises. You have a talent for depicting nature, and i especially love the …not personification, but animalization? of the moon at the end. Sometimes it does feel like that.

And I almost missed your prompt about the Tasie Tiger….i will be writing to this as soon as I can get my act together fren!
