Heat lightning: at the horizon,
July in heavy boots paces the hot floor of the darkness.
A bulb in a wobbly lamp jiggles.
Or is that you, my friend,
approaching across the firefly hills,
swinging a sloshing pail of moonlight?

Miracle how you did that!
The magic is in the app!
I need some of that magic.
Hit control, command and the space bar at the same time. You may be able to do it and you didn’t know it! Its the same app as smartphone’s have and its embedded into my iMac.
OMG. It works! 👍🏻 👏 Thank you.
The full moon here is soooo big and beautiful. Ted Kooser is a great writer. 🙂
Incredible how it is sooooo big and beautiful here too!
Oh no, it’s much better here! You just can’t see how amazing it is ha!! Everything is better here Mr Kanigan 🌝🌗🌝
There you go again. Living by your lonesome in your head.
That does sound a little mean David, but I understand the jealousy of my situation. lol 😎😎😎
LAUGHING.
He’s so talented. Great imagery. But for us it would need to be rain boots. Heavy-duty rain boots.
He is so talented. We could use a bit of rain here…
‘swinging a sloshing pail of moonlight.’ – brilliant.
You can feel his words, right?
absolutely.
Can’t get enough of Kooser, and that moon, ahhhhh! Absolutely enchanting. Moonstruck indeed….
Yes. Yes. Lori. I agree.
It was too cloudy here last night to see it. I’m glad you were able to enjoy it!
Man, this guy is so juicy!
Smiling. Isn’t he though?!?!
