This week’s theme of the Harvest moon produced some stunning results! It was hard to only choose one poem! I was thrilled with the descriptions in Harmony Kent’s poem, “Moon Touched.” Please click on her post below to read her mirrored Etheree response in a 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 syllabic count.
