The Moon Was Staring At Me

Inhaling deeply, I exhaled s-l-o-w-l-y The moon, perfectly full was staring at me one-dimensional, a shiny white circle plastered against the evening sky I searched its lines and ridges, curious if there was a message for me somewhere though that notion seemed so unlikely I tossed my head back and laughed at which, the moon made a face then draped itself in the mystery of swiftly passing clouds but when the clouds passed the moon had quite vanished

I was already reaching for the mouse to add this to my Faves, as I read the title. The rest of this mysteriously beautiful, humorous poem did not disappoint! Cheers and best wishes, Evelyn

Thank you so much for the FAVE, Evelyn... I can't help myself; your comment has inspired me: I've heard of 'Reach for the Stars!' I've heard of 'Reach for the Sky!' And now, thanks to you, I've heard "Reach for Your Mouse!" Couldn't resist that one, I guess. Thanks again, and Happiness Always, Gershon
