Water-lilies.

Lilies fragile and fragrant

Nymphs at the water’s edge

We danced daringly amidst the emerald damselflies

Bathed bashfully beneath the Buckwheat moon

Love smouldered and we stole each other’s hearts

Pleading troths of love and intimacy for eternity.

I like this love amongst the lilies so much. Buckwheat moon must be a European name for the moon. In July in the US, the native Americans call it the Thunder Moon.

  Yes it is the Thunder moon also known as the Buck moon, I was playing with the word as it looked the colour of buckwheat on the night when it was full moon. XXX

    I see. I know some of the European names for the full moon are different.
