This week for my poetry challenge, the words were “enchant and fly.” Finding different synonyms than everyone else proved to be rather interesting. So, for enchant, I used bewitched. For fly, I used a phrase, take flight.

bewitched by the moon
synchronicity stymied
startled—birds take flight

love the visuals
I found them striking as well.
Pixabay is amazing! ❤️
Cute poem! I was surprised when I discovered that today is a full moon, together with Friday 13th. Seems that there are more than 20 years when last happened. It will be a magical night!
Yes! And the next one won’t occur until 2049! I’ll be taking photos. ❤️
I will be watching… and just love the image with this poem!
Thanks, Jaye. I love the full moon. ❤️
Our buildings electricity just went out ….
Oh, oh… you know what that means! 🌝❤️
It’s back finally!!!!
Yay! <3 Glad it's finally settled down. <3
Wonderful imagery!
Thanks, Cindy! I love birds. It all came together so easy. ❤️

You’re welcome, Colleen! And thank you!
Aooooooo, that was good. What am I doing? Watching Rach and waiting to hear about your Harvest Moon adventure, lol. 🙂 <3
LOL! It took me a day to recuperate! So much energy. I’ll be posting the pictures in just a few. <3

Going to go outside and admire the full moon’s beauty.
One of the nicest full moon’s I’ve seen. <3
The moon is peeking in and out of the clouds, and the clouds are shining. (K)
It was truly magical! <3
I can just see this!
Thanks, Sis. It was a magical night! ❤️
🥰
Colleen, what a magical poem to celebrate the full moon!
It was truly magical, Eugenia. I’ll share a post tomorrow. 😍❤️
I love this
Wait until I share my magical night. ❤️
I am waiting now in anticipation 💜
Big bonfire!
Marvelous! What fun! ❤️
Brilliant Colleen..hugsxx♥
Thanks, Sally. 🥰
What am K doing for this moon? Going to my friends’ wedding!
Ohhh, that should magical! 🌝🕊🍾🥂
This is a lovely haiku, Colleen. Now that I am back from all my gallivanting around the world, I will start participating again.
Yay!! What a fun trip! I loved all the photos! ❤️
I love the poem and the imagery!! Wow!
Thanks, Jan! It was an amazing full moon experience. ❤️
Colleen, wow that is an amazing Hiaku – stunning! I visualized exactly what you saw and what made you write it with such clarity and wonder. I watched that moon for hours last night and I have never seen anything more breathtaking than that Harvest Moon over the ocean. Your Haiku, made me see it again in my mind’s eye – and I thought, wow, amazing how you captured it so truly and so real. Fabulous! Karen Anna 🙂
Awww, Karen. I’m blushing. Thanks so much. <3
My pleasure Colleen. It is an amazing Haiku. Karen Anna 🙂
I love “synchronicity stymied.”
Thanks. It’s like that sometimes. It’s there but you can’t quite grasp it. 😍
I loved your Haiku, Sis! The images are lovely and were perfect for your poem. <3
Thanks, Sis. My ceremony that night (full moon) filled with me with energy! Amazing experience. <3
Did you get the coven together to call down the moon? 😉 It’s time to clear out the clutter––both physical and emotional––before the winter. <3
LOL! My coven is myself and my neighbor! What were the chances that my next door neighbor was a Pagan? I was drawn to this house for a reason. Read my adventures here: https://sistersofthefey.com/2019/09/15/the-full-harvest-moon-my-celebration/.
