Notes About The Poem

For 1458 Poetry Contest sponsored by Brian Strand

Moon on a Spoon

I
      can fly.
        When you sing,
            it gives me wings.
                      I often wonder,
            while you sing down under
           and your voice gives me a lift,
           if I might return your sweet gift.
Fetch you the moon on a spoon? I could,
          but do you really think I should?
          Why not go for something far?
                   Can I get you a star?
                    but, if you insist, 
                   I won't resist.
              Pretty soon,
      the moon -
yours!

Linda Alice Fowler March 2, 2025 at 10:21 AM I love the shape and fun lyrics of your poem Dave! Good luck in the contest. :) David Crandall March 2, 2025 at 3:20 PM Thanks elle! Here's the inside story on that picture. It's actually, believe it or not, supposed to be the moon. It looks a little more like a manta ray. It's a bit too squat to be the moon, but it can be, with a little imagination. As you know, the moon has a man on it, right? Well, that long line in the middle is his nose. It's the moon in profile!
