Ann Gilmour Poet Rhyme

A Tea Named Green

The full Moon shines upon us on this Earth
Exquisite in its shape and in its girth

Lighting up the World from where ever we may be
In England, sunny Eastbourne, to Miami by the sea 

Through a pair of good binoculars, I search the sky, what can that be
On a clear night with a full Moon, it’s the Sea they named Tranquility  
And other Seas named Nectar, Clouds, and Showers and Serenity

As I gaze through my binoculars, skyward, into infinity
I behold a passing Spaceship landing on the Moon headfirst 
I then begin to wonder and question the reality 
How a traveling transient Spaceman can ever sate his thirst

For amazingly and despite those Seas, no water can be found or seen
For a dehydrated Cosmonaut to make a pot of tea named green …….
