Notes About The Poem

For Moon Poetry Contest sponsored by Seth Pina

Birdwatching on the Moon

We're anthropomorphic beetles on a vine, 
dear, unorthodoxical friend of mine. 
Into the indigo sky we'll climb, 
where the water's warm, my only one,
and we'll shed our skins and have some fun,
as we go a'swimming in the sun.
Tonight, I'll pluck three strings and croon -  
so won't you meet me very soon  
to go birdwatching on the moon?

Nursery-rhymish,' even though this is much more sophisticated than that. ~ gw
