Moonbeams

She journeyed to the stars While she was in a dream And then she flew by Mars On a golden moonbeam but the moon drew her in And wouldn't let go he took her for a spin And left her all aglow Was it just a dream On a journey so far But she would always gleam, She woke up as a star ! ** 6-12-18 Moon Poetry Contest Sponsor: Kevin Shaw

:) I cannot help but enjoy moon poems. Especially as beautiful as this. And I think this is the first time I've ever seen the moon referred to as a man. Hello Joseph :)

You personify the moon so well, Joseph, and the reader can see her being taken in by him. Spectacular ending too! Best wishes in Kevin's contest, Carolyn

LOVE it!!! I tried for humor. Sure wish i knew what he wanted. But I saw his example and it was on the humorous side. Anyway, this one is very sweet and joyful. For that style, it rocks.
