Fly Me To the Moon

Moon shines
On earth

Lights up
Night sky

Spied through
My scope

Can see
Moon close

Super
Crescent

Waxing
Waning

New moon
Full moon

Magic
Enchants

Delights
My soul

Hope to
Fly on

Space ship
To moon

Will book
Seat soon

And will
Sing song

In words
of Frank

Fly me
To Moon

Hello Ann, Always so special when a title captures the moon's moods. 'Moon shines ~~ On earth'. It does when it chooses, and occasionally, maybe construed as 190 proof. Best wishes for your week-end Ann. -Richard
