Waxing Gibbous Moon



Waxing gibbous moon
The words themselves a poem
Turning full moon soon

Grandmère Mimi - 2005

This is what I saw when I walked tonight.

  2. Tim, a poet friend of mine used the words "waxing gibbous moon" in a poem years ago, and I had to look up gibbous then. For some reason, I love the sound of the three words strung together, and they've always stayed with me.

  3. I saw a 'waxing gibbous moon' last night at the beach. The surf was fairly wild and the moonlight dancing on it was simply magical.

    How lovely that though miles apart, we shared the same moon - waxing and gibbous.

  5. Susan, the post is a repeat, and I will probably use it again, because I like "waxing gibbous moon".

  6. I too love the moon phases and those names can seem so strange that they're beautiful and magical.

  7. I used your haiku in my latest blog post, which showcases the waxing gibbous moon.
