Pink Sky At Night

I really want the moon, who smiles oh so bright,
to be a little different, if only for tonight.
Last night it was a circle, same as the night before,
its always been a circle, and that is such a bore.
So little star up in the sky, I wish I may and might,
make the moon a triangle, and make it pink, not white.

*Last night my 2 year old daughter saw the moon and said, "I really want the moon to be a triangle, but it keeps being a circle!"

I do recall "kids say the darndest things"...haha, and it ain't no lie either. My daughter constantly cracks me up with the way she chooses to express her ideas, lol. If only we all had such creativity in word choice, and flexibility in how we see and interpret the world! Anyway, thanks for stopping by and commenting. -G
