Throwback Friday post, I “Discovered” that I had written numerous ‘poems’ about the “MOON” over the years … and attached today, this is one of pieces that I “DISCOVERED” during my search …

To The Moon And Back
Well, say hello spring
You’re certainly flashing us your everything
A warm mild morning
Followed by midday sunshine
Then suddenly a wild storm
Lightening and heavy rain
Windy squalls, umbrella’s flying
And down the fat hail came
While the dark sky opened his jaws
I wondered if it was like this
On our faraway moon
So without further ado
I jettisoned myself there
Soaring into space
I left this human race
Just for a short time, anyways
I journeyed to the art gallery
Displaying a real moon show
Wilderness photos from yesteryears
Bold colourful impressions
From out of this world
Ancient traditional stories were also told
Old-time moon movies, on the big screen
Bold sculptures, of every shape imaginable
And a moonscape, seen through artist eyes
The wondrous afternoon escape, was my prize
