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 12/06/18 Kevin Shaw Moon Poetry Contest

Yes, indeed ... the spin is rapture, and I always dive in head-first, ha! (Wink-wink). Lovely and charmingly witty write, Mo - blessings and congrats on your win, Sweets! :-) <3

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

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

Awesome! Love how you referenced the moon's effects on tides and its phases of illumination in your "dance." Hope you spin to a win with this delightful poem! Hugs, Carolyn

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

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.

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
