I can't think of anything for today's family anecdote prompt... so I'm going with the sky tonight instead. (It looked exactly like this picture, but the opposite way round...)
Mid April
New moon
and Venus
in the sky tonight
a silver surprise.
Needle and thread
finger and thumb.
Wink of an eye,
half a smile.
Kiss, and don't tell.
Baseball mitt
and ball -
mid catch.
Caught moment,
home-run
at dark.
Gramophone moon
small quaver planet.
Evening serenade
just begun.
Luminous
semi colon
afloat on blue;
true
how a bracket
can stand back
(a sly aside)
from the finality
of any
full stop.
