Two evenings after the official date of the summer solstice full moon (June 20) I was out in the car an hour before midnight. Low on the horizon I saw a huge golden moon. The lingering experience led me to write these haiku. My view wasn’t of a cityscape, but this image (public domain) is the best portrayal I could find of the type of moon I saw.

Rare lunar vision,
Majestic orb lights the night,
Golden solstice moon.

Summer night flower,
glowing on the horizon,
a gigantic moon.

It is magical when we see something like that!

I especially like the second one. Magical is right, scene and your words, both.

Yes. Hanging in the sky, appearing out of what seems like nowhere, it really is magic.

Beautiful haiku Janice, was the moon image yours, (the moon, not the stars)?

Thanks Denis. The moon image was donated to the public domain and made available on Pixabay.com. It’s a great source of images. My phone camera has repeatedly tried but can’t do the moon justice 🙂 The image I posted showing a large moon low on the horizon was the closest match to what I saw (minus the city view).
