Mark Martin Poet Verse

Supermoon

Based on BBC news article "Supermoon lights up sky around the world" 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-37978572


On the night November fourteen
By orbit's cycles, moon looms near
An astral stellar lunar scene
Since '48 the largest sphere

Around the world the drifting night
Heaven's show of nature's wonder
Peoples of the world unite
Common sky we all live under

From New Zealand to New Delhi
Cairo, London, Bondi beach
Leave the tablet and the telly
Go outside and stretch to reach

On your own or with some friends
Join the upward looking crowds
Pause and ponder - does space end?
Unless you're cursed with thick grey clouds

Chris Green November 14, 2016 at 3:06 PM This was really good. It is humorous though it makes perfect sense. Nicely done. Mark Martin November 14, 2016 at 4:23 PM Thanks Chris. Unfortunately missed the moon tonight - too cloudy! :-)
