Well readers, here I go again, another “Moon” poem …I hope you are still enjoying my moon theme week ….
A Slithery Moon
Sunday softy sings
Undone on the wind
For a drowning underling
Tiredness creeps in
Church bells ring
For more silent writings
Numbness drops a teaspoon
Eyes close for the afternoon
Awaiting a slithery moon

Hi readers and followers, today I am re-posting another “Moon”poem, but here in this introspective piece (March 2021), the moon seems to be slipping away from me …
A Slithery Moon
Sunday softy sings
Undone on the wind
For a drowning underling
Tiredness creeps in
Church bells ring
For more silent writings
Numbness drops a teaspoon
Eyes close for the afternoon
Awaiting a slithery moon

Hello readers and followers, … my “Moon” poem theme continues today with a repost from September 2019, and I hope you are all enjoying my collection of “Moonolgues”
A Midday Moon
Surprise, surprise, up there in the sky
Hidden by the glare, of noon’s golden eye
I saw the moon, being cradled by the midday sun
There, glowing like a silver button
As hundreds of human’s passed me unawares
I was staring in wonderment, at our worlds brightest stars
The sun’s white ray’s, wore soft gloves of silk
And the moon was like a baby, enjoying mother’s milk
A chance of a lifetime I captured
Our sun and moon’s moment of embracing rapture

I am ‘Moon-struck’ this week, and here is another “Moon” poem, which I originally wrote in May 2018, and today I am posting a new version that I revised this morning ..
Moon Shadows And Celestial Lights
I stood alone
in my second-hand clothes
holding her worn out soul
silently
I placed her ashes
in a brick wall
years of heartache
hidden in a chasm of pain
moments in time
now resting in peace
How does tomorrow become another day?
how does the past live with today?
Her moon shadows shyly tiptoe through my nights
as my hazy dreams glow under her celestial lights

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
