Poem Title:
Poem
Blue Moon tonight which is very rare It happens on New Years Eve once in nineteen years Will you be watching to see if it peeks through In New York City, Albany, or Calimazu Maybe in Ormand Beach, Florida Utah, Alaska a state so fair How about in the United Kingdom Africa, Asia, Malayia, or Bonnie Scotland where It may shine on ice and snow Or rain reflecting streets Somewhere on the desert plain Where the sidewinders sleep Will the clouds part for just A short time for you and me So we can see this phenominum That will be such a treat I will be watching and hope For just a peek, if only for a moment.. That would be so neat My day will be filled with excitement As I watch and wait This could be the night That I might stay up late Sit out on the porch in the cold Hoping to share with you A night of anticipation Of a moon that is blue Will it cast a shadow On my gray gray hair Or hide all the wrinkles That shows my character So that youth is reflected On this night so fair On this night so rare On this night to share On this night be there (Some explanation of Blue Moon. (1) Earth close to sun-so earth gets more sun and moon will be brighter. (2) Moon will be closer to earth so seems larger. (3) Full moon rises to a point nearly opposite the sun and because sun is low this time of year the full moon will rise particularly high. Blue moon is not blue in color but two full moons in one month because we do not use lunar calendar but one devised by man. Last blue moon on New Years Eve was l990 and next will be 2028 or every 19 years.) (There are several explanations how the term came into being but I will let you look it up.)
