Tom Cunningham Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

The Full Moon

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.
