Facts Meet Myths

The sun and the moon Moving on opposite sides The Earth's spinning strength abides. Lunar myths are spread. Folklore told with conviction. Dreams contrived with deception. More babies arrive. Maternity rooms crowded. Romantic blooms then, fruited. Each July full moon, In the wild, a fawn is born. A pointed buck sheds his horn. Sometimes, good children Disrupt their classes at school. Teachers and parents still rule! Energy spiking. The full moon's power released. Special vibes become increased. Reality check! Scientists experiment… To fantasy's bereavement – No werewolves hiking. Still, folks fearfully beware. In case one really is there. © October 30, 2011 Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Inspired by Poetry Soup Member Contest: What Happens During A Full Moon?
