Now for the mini-prompt:

Consider the opening line from Emily Dickinson’s poetic masterpiece “The Moon was but a Chin of Gold.” 

The Moon was but a Chin of Gold
A Night or two ago—

For further inspiration I have included an image to stir your muse. It was taken by my sister a few years ago, she has graciously allowed me to use it.

What more can be said about the moon? It has always carried an air of quiet allure, rising with a glow that transforms the night into something hushed and dreamlike. Its presence is both comforting and mysterious, as though it holds countless untold stories in its light.

Suspended high above, it casts silver over oceans and fields, guiding wanderers, inspiring poets, and reminding us of the beauty found in stillness.

The moon is timeless, its phases a gentle rhythm that connects past to present, earth to sky, and the human heart to something greater.

If you choose to use the optional prompt, you can use the line, the photo, both or just one. Please do join us on the live session at 10 AM New York Time. Have fun and see you on the poetry trail!
