Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Light Verse

Last Tango With the Moon

My tango with the moon is picking up speed
Starting to spin a little faster
Phases flashing
Soon to be splashing
In a hot night tidal disaster

I don't know how deep I'll dip
In the moon's embrace
Or how fast I'll spin till I'm let go

Or what life will be like
Post Estrus
When to the moon I'm just a regular Joe

Gershon Wolf June 14, 2018 at 10:15 PM Tango with the Moon - a title to die for, a dance to remember, and a poem that's a winner in the contest. That's three for three, Maureen! … although I thought that you're actually 'no average Mo!' :) gw Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 15, 2018 at 7:13 AM Them's big words comrade! I really have no idea how this one'll go. My sense of humour tends to deliver N/A's when funny is a contest element. Not quitting my day job ;p Thank you comrade! xomo <3

Pandita Sietesantos June 12, 2018 at 3:59 PM Ahhhh - the man in the moon - I'm sure he would make a great dance partner for a delightful tango! But, alas! I am sure he has a long list of folks lining up to dance with him and may never get to poor ole me - LOL! Quite a magical imagery you have painted, my friend! Enjoyed reading this piece! Good luck in the contest! Hugs. Pandita Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 13, 2018 at 7:47 AM Giggles! Thank you Pandita! xomo :)

Reason A. Poteet June 12, 2018 at 12:13 PM I can read the tangle in your tango quite well, Maureen...if you take the "e" off Joe, Jo will suffice. Great write; great read, I wish you luck in Kevin's latest. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 12, 2018 at 12:32 PM Thank you! Interesting :) cultural Jo or Joe. I spell Mo with no "e" seems more feminine than Moe, is that it? My inference joe blow, the hypothetical average man. Cheers! xomo

Daniel Turner June 12, 2018 at 10:31 AM Should have ended it with a "regular Mo". Loved your tango:) Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 12, 2018 at 10:35 AM Lol! No, I doubt I'll ever be a regular Mo ;p hugs n' giggles! Thank you Daniel! Oh wait, and I gotta soup mail ya...
