Full Moon over Scottsdale, Arizona – July, 2017
The Magic of Moonlight.
The full moon’s smoldering glow
illuminates the evening desert sky
Peeking and hiding amidst billowy clouds
in shades of creamy coral and milky opal.
Palm trees elegantly pirouette
with delicate fronds fluttering fluidly
While the wind whispers a soft lullaby
in hushed tones of serene tranquility.
Good night sweet summer day…
sleep peacefully in contented slumber.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
It’s a treat to see a beautiful full moon under a different sky, isn’t it? I like the way the moon illuminates the tree. “Milky opal” is just right. (K)
