Moon Tricks, for Last on the Card, Apr 1, 2025

Click on photos to enlarge.

These are the last 4 shots on my phone, taken standing in my pool a bit before midnight on March 31, trying to capture the crisp crescent moon, which was all I could see with the naked eye. Unfortunately, my camera insisted on capturing a fuzzy full moon partially in shadow. My first April 1 trick, a few minutes early.

For Last on the Card.

April Fool

“The Fool Doth Think He Is Wise”

April Fool

The April breeze comes in a wave,
loosening words I’d like to save.
I’m afraid if I use them today,
I’ll simply throw the words away.
I’ve been keeping them around
for when I’m feeling more profound,
but errant winds have tossed them so
I feel I have to let them go.
Here they are, all madly sprawled
across a page they should have crawled
ornate and planned, all neatly sown.
Instead, they’re scattered where they’ve been blown.
