Corn moon

Posted on July 24, 2010 by Dave Bonta

Too hot to sleep
I bask in the moonlight’s
illusion of coolness

*

A warm breeze
fireflies come blinking
out of the shadows

*

Katydids chant
full moon full moon full moon
a passing jet

*

Staring at the moon
I wish I too could be buried
up to my neck

    Very nice! And good creative use of heat-induced insomnia. :-)
