The Haloed Moon
A full moon shone bright,
milky white, in the sky tonight.
She sailed alone, dignified,
self-assured on her path
across the skies’ eternal plane.
A haloed moon she was,
With a pair of dogs
at her side ~
seldom seen ~
like a crownéd queen.

Yes, Ben, long long ago in the times of witches and wizards and myths that we sometimes believed…

Well-noting a really strange phenomenon. I’ve seen haloes often enough, but can’t recall seeing the ‘dogs’.

Neither have I, Col. I think one has to be right away from the city lights and, maybe, in the tight place at the right time.

I think I would remember if I had, Brian, so probably haven’t.
