CELESTIALS QUARREL

“I am the Moon and live way up high In the night sky I live among the brightest of stars In my galaxy, also lives Mars, Infinite is my neighborhood, I would like to smile if I could, But my persona is to look sad, It makes me ever so mad. Lovers lie on the beach sand at night, Their love etched in the sand in sight, But others, prefer frying, Under your rays, blazing Showing off their human tans, Oh you darnn Sun, you do have fans, But a criminal, causing chaos, so hot, As in devil, certainly not So much fun, They prefer me any day, To you red hot Sun!” Frustrated the Sun replies, “I come out every day, I sustain all vegetation growth, Warm humans from the outside in, And the inside out, Even visit freezing Norway.” Patiently the Moon listens. “Oh what do you in any case know, I dear Sun, provide light In the night, And light up dark paths with a glow,” The Moon then continued. “And people like to wish when I’m waxing, Men and women, girls and boys, worldwide, All too soon Declaring their love Giving poets a chance to translate this Love into words, all around planet Earth, Across its length and girth.” “You are such an egotist.” The Sun sarcastically said, “Without me, Earth would be dead, Humans would freeze, With a rapid ease”, “i give you that”, replied the Moon, “You are rather cool!” “But you’re a romantic fool”, Exploded the Sun, “I’m indispensable To humankind,” Our romantic Moon had to have The last word, "I could eclipse you, but Maybe you’re right, I admit in a debate. You score, You are rather bright, But I have made history, Man rocketed to my land, And held a handful of sand, Humans landed on me the Moon, And planted the American flag, Now I know you feel I do brag, But I am so proud Without any shadow of doubt. Enough now, so let’s call a truce, And say its deuce, your advantage, We are both needed, And respectfully heeded.”

Very nice. I like the dialogue between the sun and moon. I like the personification of this poem.

Did God smile knowing we would personify the sun and moon, or perhaps one day they will testify! Enjoyed your poem, Jennifer!

Jennifer this was a joy to read. I love the bickering between the Sun and the Moon they both made great points. There are theories out there that Stanley Kubrick a Film Producer was hired by the US government to make the moon landing footage and the Moon Landing not being real. Stanley admitted to this and said their was a race between the Americans and Russians to get to the moon first and we cheated by forging the truth. lol. Just a little fact I wanted to share with you Jennifer. Hugs...

Yes, I'm back and while gone, I sometimes visited my poems to remind me who I am and where I should now face in growth. It amazed me to realize how genuinely consistent your presence and feel remained held steady on my pages. I am most glad to see you and wish to really hug you, if only I could. Blessings ... to you, your imagination and knowledge.

Such a riveting and entertaining verbal ping-ponging of egos between the Mighty Marvelous Moon and Superbly Sensational Sun. You laced wittiness with knowledge that enjoyably fast held my attention. This could be an educational science science read in elementary schools. Thank you for such steady uplifting concern. You're wonderful. Love ... CayCay

Play. Repeat. Play. Repeat. And so it goes on and on, the never ending debate on who's the cosmic GOAT. Nice one Jen

Hi Tom, thanks for the visit, have been out of touch with all this month, Hospitals had a lot of resignations in December, busy trying to place applicants with them. It was a sweltering hot day today so sitting on our patio enjoying the cool evening breeze. Blessings Jennifer .
