Tomorrow the moon is in Taurus,
First Quarter,
a young lunar grows,
never to falter;
tomorrow waxes gibbous
moves to Gemini,
slight sliver of disk
sexy in night skies.
Oxygen, silicon,
other traces…
we speculate, appreciate,
as phases pass faces.
But tonight…
the full moon,
a lunar eclipse,
a blue moon,
and a supermoon
all happening
at once.

Cheers Carrie–I’ve always been fascinated by the faces the moon presents…

Me too. I remember being very young and hearing people talk about the “Man in the Moon.” I would stare up at it and try to make out his face. Kind of creepy, when you think about it!

There always seems to be more to learn about it, the myths surrounding it, the way it impacts our seasons…and yes, much about it could be seen as creepy 🙂

Lovely of you to say so, Christine. I wonder sometimes if it’s an obsession…but no, there are too many other things that I’m curious about… 🙂

Polly, “phases pass faces” plus the alliteration, a real winner. Love moongazing, always have. There is no obsession that doesn’t lead to art, so I’m all for obsessing… except when it leads to insomnia, like my post today. thanks for visiting and commenting, sorry I have not been productive of late, but this is a helluva a winter, yikes! Love your post. Amy

Have you heard of the hare in the moon. In many countries they celebrate a hare and not a man in the moon 🙂
