Waxing Crescent

The moon's a waxing crescent (If my husband knows his stuff) And it's wonderful to stare at; I just cannot get enough. 'Cause tonight I'm in the suburbs Where there's lots of open sky, I can see it very clearly With some stars a'twinkling by. Since my home base is the city, I don't often have the chance To experience this vision Filled with beauty and romance. So I'll gaze a bit in wonder For at least a little while At this perfect waxing crescent Which both forms and brings a smile.

Hi Ilene. A poetic gesture of simple beauty anyone can identify with. Nicely done!

The moon has so much more influence on animals and us than most realise. They know about he weather, the ocean tides, and planting crops, but our emotions are also greatly affected. Luna indeed has beauty and romance. I love poems about the moon Ilene. This made me smile too.; )
