Autumn Moon [Haiku]

Autumn moon first glimpse 
is impossibly huge;
the next, it shrank!

“The Fish” by William Butler Yeats [w/ Audio]

Although you hide in the ebb and flow
Of the pale tide when the moon has set,
The people of coming days will know
About the casting out of my net,
And how you have leaped times out of mind
Over the little silver cords,
And think that you were hard and unkind,
And blame you with many bitter words.

“So set its Sun in Thee” (808) by Emily Dickinson [w/ Audio]

So set its Sun in Thee
What Day be dark to me —
What Distance — far —
So I the Ships may see
That touch — how seldomly —
Thy Shore?

PROMPT: Writing

Daily writing prompt
What do you enjoy most about writing?

EPIPHANIES.

Dark Delta [Haiku]

sun sets upon
the river delta:
then pitch black night.
