The Visit
When there is no Full Moon
No quarter moon,
Not even a sliver of a silvery smile
in the sky
Is when I know.
For it is in the Great Darkness that she comes to me.
I go outside and look up
and wait.
And pretty soon,
sure enough,
here she comes,
tossing me stars
as she sails on by
riding on a single silver thread of night.

About Us
- Full Moon Poetry Society
- There was a time when poets would gather together to write, read and comment on each other’s poetry. These gatherings would take place during a full moon and would often include a favorite beverage, something to eat and a reflective body of water. It sounded like fun to me. No one has a lot of time these days to hang out together, so I thought maybe we could have our own electronic society of poets. In the light of day I thought better of it; who would be interested? In a weak moment I mentioned my idea to Deanna. Her eyes lit up and resembled two big harvest moons. I had a companion in poetry and the Full Moon Poetry Society was born. -Brian Howlett
