Moon Dog

Many moons ago there was a fellow so handsome that he made the ladies swoon. No woman ever challenged him because they all believed that fellow hung the moon. Once in a blue moon he met a woman who would not give that guy the time of day. He wanted her and promised her the moon. She turned her back; she was a moon away! “You’re reaching for the moon,” the woman said, “by going after me. You’d have to be a five-foot-two with luscious eyes of blue! Cry for the moon. Men don’t interest me!” June 12, 2018 for Kevin Shaw's Moon Poetry Contest
