A large bright shining moon is an awesome sight Rising in the eastern sky on a dark cloudless night Sometimes it is a super moon, or can be red or blue Half, crescent and full are phases it often passes through. It also controls the coastal tides in out and flowing Look closely at its face, you’ll see that it’s smiling It sometimes eclipses and wears some shiny bling Caused by our earth’s shadow a beautiful diamond ring. It’s made of gorgonzola, you probably did not know Astronauts have confirmed it and said” yes that is so” It is linked with romance and makes some lovers swoon But best of all drop your pants, hey presto a full moon.

"It sometimes eclipses and wears some shiny bling Caused by our earth’s shadow a beautiful diamond ring." Great rhyming....! A beautiful poem on the moon with a funny ending and a funny image.
