The Questioner

The moon fills from the top
Each day gets lighter, growing
How it hold the light and it not run out
The bottom just pouring

Seeing the moon in day
Up in the clear sky blue
Makes mind search for way to express
Ones' questions about you

Momma always said that
I could ask more questions
Than Philadelphia lawyer
Her.....abstentions


(My mother always said that I asked too many questions ...Very inquistive child was I....Still 
wonder.....The word abstentions means ...no do.)

I love the way your poem could move inits own circle just as the moon cycles... So clever to think of it in the same poetry as your mother's ideals for you as if you await her dreams coming true with each moon that passes.... A stroke of brilliance indeed! Thanks for your comments too, delighted. Kindest thoughts, Anna-Marie.

a very nice write. Well worded, flows real nice. It's funny because my aunt always told me that I would become a Philadelphia lawyer. We learn by asking question. Thank you for reading my poem and for your comment.
