Moonlight Magic

Entranced by the magic
of the harvest moon,
We met a carpetbagger
upon a seaside dune.
From his fancy satchel
he extracted a balloon.
Then to piping music
of a loud bassoon,
appeared  the strangest monkey—
in truth? A big  baboon.

For Esther’s Challenge, “Can You Tell A Story in 41 Words.” the prompt words were:

  • BALLOON
  • FANCY
  • TRANCE
  • SATCHEL
  • MONKEY

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.
