Full Moon Shining Bright

By Russ Salk

Russ has always disliked the phrase, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” He believes that a well-turned phrase has a sense of feel, rhythm, and purpose that shows the unique beauty of the written word. And he makes a strong case for this in his collection of delightful and thoughtful Haikus ... "Poetic prose" with just 3 lines and a few well-chosen words.
The great B’s are all here: Bach, bluebirds, broken-down cars, and Bond ... James Bond. There’s a mixture of nature, music, and popular culture, as well as a simple statement expressing our universal longing for a more peaceful world, that will make the reader want to pause before moving along to the next entry.
Star Trek, the Great American Songbook, horror movies, Shakespeare ... all are touched on with words that are refreshing and respectful.
Enjoy!
