The Moon Fills Out
Shy moon blushes
Late bloomer shine
From behind leafy branches
It gets braver as it climbs

Nice work, CR.
No moon for us tonight, here, though we finally have our leaves. Now, if we could just get the temps up above 60…

Yes Colleen – the moon stronger as it climbs – lovely to be soaking up your telling sensibilities again..

The is lovely, the strength growing in the climb.

Beautiful! ❤️ And tonight is in fact the rise of full strawberry moon 😀

I like how strength grows. These few lines have such a positive feel … especially for those of us who are late bloomers.

Don’t all things get braver as they climb? Except, of course, those who are afraid of heights! Loved this poem!

I wrote it a couple of nights ago. The moon was not shy last night!

Beautifully described.

Beautifully simple, yet profound. The shy moon can change quickly indeed!

Yes, plants to tend to show a smug face as they get to the top of the fence or wall so they can peek at the neighbours!
