neath the sturgeon moon

plains curtained in burnished gold

behold the harvest

seasons come and seasons go

summer was moments ago

Frank Tassone’s #Haikai Challenge #150 (8/2/20): Sturgeon Moon #haiku #senryu #haibun #tanka #haiga #renga

This week, write the haikai poem of your choice (haiku, senryu, haibun, tanka, haiga, renga, etc.) that alludes to the sturgeon moon.

Other names for this Full Moon include”Full Green Corn Moon,” signaling that the corn was nearly ready for harvest, “Wheat Cut Moon,” “Moon When All Things Ripen,” and”Blueberry Moon.”
