The Wednesday challenge on Weekly Prompts is;ย HERCULEAN. Please go over and visit their fabulous site by clicking on >> Here , and below is my response to the prompt.
Herculean Moon
On a motionless silent night
There.
From beyond the dark evening clouds
The Herculean moon stoically glowed
Upon the forestโs swaying silhouettes
Stealthily shedding enough silvery light
To illuminate the ancient gatehouse
There.
From below the mystical pathway home

Thank you dear Carolyn …. I took the photo last night whille walking home from my neighbours place (12 steps) and the moon was so bright bright from behind the clouds, then I saw that “Herculean” was the word on Weekly Prompts” … and then I thought, why not call “our” moon Herculean …. Oh that Waterboys song’s live version is a great fav’ of mine … ๐ค๐๐๐๐๐
