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 …….

Oh thank you so much for your lovely congrats Mike, so kind of you. It has been gale force winds and heavy rain this evening in Eastbourne, but at least I get the chance to sit and write even more poems, haha, one I wrote last night after midnight at the height of the storms - Scary sounds of Nature - hope you are having a great evening Mike, kindest thoughts Ann x
