Cryptic Stuff

[not_for_sale]

While it was done some years ago I see, I thought I would try a cryptic crossword-like thread for fun and to try and boost a little more interest here. I made up the below question for anyone interested in such a challenge. I thought the first person to get it correct might come up with the next question. A clue though - if you copy one from a newspaper or magazine etc., the answer can often be found on the internet. I can explain the answer for anyone who asks. 🙂

The prisoner at the cave would not stand for the electrically charged droplets of water.

It is a harvest moon.

(I did make an error; at the time of posting, it should have been Autumn, not August. I just wasn't seeing it; persistent headache today. My sincere apologies.)

In the sense of Harvest Moon, "Harvest" is describing the noun of moon, so it's functioning as an adjective.

August light when round perplexes the possessing minister (7)

(should have been Autumn light when round perplexes the possessing minister (7))

DESCRIPTION:

Autumn light when round = Harvest  (Harvest moon = the full moon closest to autumnal equinox)

WORDPLAY

perplexes [anagram indicator]

possessing = hast

minister = Rev

   anagram of hast Rev = harvest

nfs, you would have got this had I not got myself into a bulldozer headache-induced tangle; would you please take the next round?
