MOON Poems & A Rocket Poem



This weekend my husband and I will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing--and our 50th wedding anniversary! So...today, I thought I'd share some of my original moon poems and one rocket poem.

THINGS TO DO IF YOU ARE THE MOON

Live in the sky.

Be bold…

OR

be shy.

Wax and wane

in your starry terrain.

Be a circle of light,

just a sliver of white,

or hide in the shadows

and vanish from sight.

Look like a pearl

when you’re brim-full

and bright.

Hang in the darkness.

Dazzle the night.

Mirror

Of the sun, bright

Orb in the evening sky, Earth's

Nightlight

Now that the sun has left the sky.

It’s time for ME to shine on high…

To spread my gentle pearly light

For all the creatures of the night.

Sometimes Moon is round and bright.

Sometimes it’s just a wisp of white.

Sometimes it vanishes from sight.

Moon is an ever-changing light.

 

Night sang Sun a lullaby,

sprinkled stars across the sky, 

switched on Moon

and let it shine

into this little room of mine.

Roaring

Off the launchpad in a

Cloud of smoke,

Kicking off its invisible tether to

Earth, it blasts into space, blazing a

Trail, searing the sky with its fiery tail.
