moon moon round and ripe
silver in black satin sky
bare your sterling soul
your pre-dawn morning magic
shimmers ‘cross this sleeping world

Lovely tanka, Rob.
A lovely definition of enchantment.
Mmmmm, ripe moon-fruit…
Just gorgeous, Rob – I always love your short ones: the essence of poetry.
Enchanting!
I loved this .. beautiful 🙂
Wow- I love it!
What a beautiful way to express this scene. “Sterling soul” is my favorite. Love this!
glad the poets aren’t “the sleeping world.” someone has to capture the moon. 🙂
Enchanting indeed!
Reminds me of cheesecake…and that’s a good thing.
I really like this, Rob. Well done.
It was a beautiful moon week.
lovely gentle and enchanting tanka
Mm, the early morning moon lends itself well to the tanka form…you capture its majesty enchantingly, sir. I cannot wait for Spring, when I the outdoors grows more welcoming, and I get to see more of these sights again myself…
simply beautiful…bkm
His pen begins to sing! ..smiles..
So much packed into so few words. Wonderful, Rob,

Wish I could think of some more creative way to say “beautiful poem,” but that is what it is. You really do like to get up very early though!
Awesome visuals. Beautiful.
My mind’s eye is seeing the image like someone who’s pulled an all-nighter. Maybe I’m just tired because I have two toddlers…
Your poem enchants like a dreamy silky stream of pre-dream magic.
beautiful & the music
