in the harvest moonlight

hazy night–
sake is flowing
waterfall and moon
for Jonathan Mayhew at bemshaw swing
on one knee
the moonlight…
frog in the evening
for the long-overdue Stuart Levine at TaxBizLaw
the moon at your feet
look! look!
croaking frog
for soloist supreme Carolyn Elefant of MyShingle
if only she were here
for me to nag…
tonight’s moon!
for the hopeful TBP, Esq. at unbillable hours
departing geese
where will you moon-gaze
tomorrow?
for J. Craig Williams at May It Please the Court
a lucky fox
deigns to bark…
hazy moon
for Margaret Marks von Transblawg
spooning up soup
and bringing forth
the moon
for Howard Bashman at How Appealing
scolding
vain man…
the autumn moon
for Matt Homann at the [non]billable hour
my hut’s mosquitoes
go out to make a living…
dusk moon
for the young and restive Insomniac
“Gimme that harvest moon!”
cries the crying
child
for Steve Minor at SWVaLawBlog
tonight’s moon–
how many mountains resemble
the ones back home?
for Jeralyn Merritt at TalkLeft
do you shine
so I’ll steal the plum blossom
moon?

the defeated wrestler, too
joins the crowd…
bright moon

granny comes
drinking her sake…
a moonlit night
for Glenn K. Garnes of EsqLawTech
under my bottom
the stone warms up…
moonlit night
for Marcia Oddi of the not-just Indiana Law Blog
holding up
the hazy moon…
willow tree
for Genie Tyburski of VirtualChase
harvest moon
on a clear, rainless night
elsewhere!
glimpsing the moon
over my home village…
also brings tears
