Day 4 Supper on the back quarter section

Thank you so much to Na/GloPoWriMo for the shout out for my Day 3 poem!

Can't thank you enough for the prompts, the community, the push...

Day 4 prompt from NaPoWriMo

“Today’s daily resource is the online exhibitions page of the International Folk Art Museum. I have a particular predilection for folk art, in which the strange and boisterous so often finds itself going hand-in-hand with practical objects of daily use. But the museum also showcases work of other sorts, like 100 Aspects of the Moon, a series of woodblock prints completed by the Japanese artist Taiso Yoshitoshi shortly before his death in 1892.”

This print spoke to me.

Supper on the back quarter section

Uncles stand by tractors

Here’s more information on the print:

Farmers celebrating the autumn moon 1891

The traveler leaning on his staff is the great haiku poet Matsuo Basho (1644-1694) who composed this verse when he met two farmers enjoying the full moon, “Since the crescent moon, I have been waiting for tonight.”
