The Rising Cresant Moon

The rising crescent Moon drips golden rays of butter, 

and the Galaxy's Milky-Way churns a creamy treat. 

As fluttering eyes of rest chase a candied lightning streak. 

Fluff the purring kitten folds thunder into the brew. 

Echoing chatter from the evening train revibrates a fading boom.

Dancing images of Knights in battle spring from the canvas of stars. 

Then the silence of sleep comes with the fullness of Jupiter and Mars.

Loving the expanse and beauty of your words. Have been taking night walks lately, so it's wondrous to see the sky alive in your thoughts... Wishing you an autumn unlike any other.

There is something about a evening stroll or just sitting by a campfire. It really feeds the soul.

I love how you start out by whipping up a dairy frenzy that sounds & feels delicious! Then you paint the arresting boldness of such a night sky (((HUGS)))

Yes nothing better than a celestial buffet.

[barleygirl]

"Celestial buffet" . . . love that!

dearest Cherrie... you are the Ultimate Poetess... so charmed by
your descriptions in the Night Sky. I delight in the Moods of thunder and
lightening... like the purring of a Kitten. And when Morning breaks...
it may be sunny or grey... depending on the Wind in the Willows. gently, Pat

The kids always like when I make bedtime a story. Truth be told I do too. :)

Milky Way, such a classic candy bar, and you mention the Mars bar...
well at least the planet...I don't want to eat the planets, they probably are not that sweet.
and Mars might be too hot.
but a feel a lot goes on up there, and much we do not know about.
I like the image of the chattering train.

Really this popped in my head after I read Margie's moonlit limerick.

[Chris Shaw]

She's an inspiration to us all :)

[Cherrie Palmer]

It's funny but as a rule the inspired has little to do with the source . But I love when it works that way
