Over the Moon

one month after june 
       an eagle lands on the moon
         stars and stripes festoon 
        was sunday late afternoon 
   neil the buzz and mankind swoon

a cute tribute this is, David. Nice way to get the word June used though it took place in July. Creative work. Congrats in my contest.

Thank you Andrea, I’m always delighted to get a placement, even though I tricked June to align it with the moon, cheers David

Beautiful tribute to the moon landing David! Best wishes for the contest with your very inventive tanka. Much said in a few syllables. Best wishes for the contest. Cheers! Toasting your tanka!

Thank you Sam for the endorsement of my tanka tribute, not sure if it’s what Andrea had in mind for her contest, but sure we’ll see how it goes, cheers David
