The Moon's Disbelief

An orange moon lit up the sky
And spread it's heavenly glow

It shone on a landscape cold with grief
And newly fallen snow

'What's this? the moon in horror gasped
Mother Nature you must be wrong

The maples still are red and gold
We still sing Autumn's song

Call out the sun and melt that stuff
It's barely Halloween

December's moon has yet to shine
And Christmas to be seen!'

Oh, that would be horrible if it snowed this early. The kids would not enjoy Halloween and the colors would suffer as well. Great couplet form and the rhyme and imagery are perfect. Michael
