THE SUPER FLOWER MOON: LUNAR ECLIPSE

Springtime Super Flower Moon

Late nighttime parting too soon

Showoff—presto change-o eclipse

Flower moon swaying rose hips

Rouge color cheeky moonbeam

Aura—breeze scent rose-stream

Moonlight petal pose, no prickle

A rose by any other name, fickle

April Ryan is a longtime Washington resident and longtime Northwest Prime Time contributor of stories and poems…and many Moon Poems.

SHARING STORIES is a weekly column for and about the 50 plus crowd living in the Puget Sound region. Send your stories and photos to ariele@comcast.net. Tell local or personal stories; discuss concerns around aging and other issues; share solutions, good luck, and reasons to celebrate; poems are fine too. Pieces may be edited or excerpted. We reserve the right to select among pieces. Photos are always a plus and a one-sentence bio is requested (where you live, maybe age or career, retired status, etc.).

SHARING STORIES is featured on http://www.northwestprimetime.com, the website for Northwest Prime Time, a monthly publication for baby boomers, seniors, retirees, and those contemplating retirement. The newspaper can be found in the greater Seattle area and other Puget Sound locations. For more information, call 206-824-8600 or visit http://www.northwestprimetime.com. To find other SHARING STORIES articles on this website type “sharing stories” in the search function above.
