  3. Slowly, silently, now the moon
    Walks the night in her silver shoon;
    This way, and that, she peers, and sees
    Silver fruit upon silver trees;
    One by one the casements catch
    Her beams beneath the silvery thatch;
    Couched in his kennel, like a log,
    With paws of silver sleeps the dog;
    From their shadowy cote the white breasts peep
    Of doves in silver feathered sleep
    A harvest mouse goes scampering by,
    With silver claws, and silver eye;
    And moveless fish in the water gleam,
    By silver reeds in a silver stream.

    - Walter de la Mare

    1. As a schoolboy I had to learn that off by heart as punishment for some misdemeanor, and I still remember it to this day.

    3. "shoon" is Middle English for "shoes". Just saying. . .

    4. I didn't know that! I thought it was a glow or shine!

    5. I memorised this as a child, too. But not as punishment. It's one of my favourites.

  4. A great shot
    The moon was easy to spot
    Staring back at you
    Hovering over your zoo

    1. T&L were in town to pack up the last of their apartment and spent the night.
      They left at 6AM! I am NOT usually up at that hour. haha. And with the moon
      still up, it was proof that nobody should be out of bed at that hour! lol....

  7. I'm afraid that my eyes were not open this AM to see that gorgeous moon.
    A few evenings ago or shall I say early morning (like 3 AM) the Full moon was shining right into my eyes from my bedroom window. It woke me up...for a moment I almost thought it was daytime.
    What an amazing part of creation!
