Paper Moon Poems

paper moon, paper stars

sometimes it's hard to be a bard

where hides hidden verse in paper yard

etched in stone or scribed in bars 

follow the moon, follow the stars

Under A Paper Moon

Ella sent the invitation
Louis worked the door
to celebrate between the lines
inflection served du jour 

My heart was given freely
their phrasings lined my soul
beyond the words and melody
goodbye to rock and roll

 The Saints Were Marching In
as Satch blew his horn with glee
(and Ella said)
No, No They Can’t Take That 
 — Away From Me

Paper Moon

The moon is full, my heart is too 
Overflowing with love for you
It's cold outside, but not inside
Your warmth is spreading far and wide
It flows through me, controlled yet free
Eyes closed or open you're all I see
And one day soon let's watch that moon
Together, while Ella sings the tune

When panties show a ‘moon’
These truly are not ladies scanties!

Paper Moon

A crumbled dim paper moon that lit
Once held boldly and so brilliant 
Stars envied the greatness of its tone
The light it carried upon her throne 
Unrivaled descendants overthrown
It’s fans now scattered scarsly shown
And complicated applause outgrown 
Across the universe parts well known
Penetrated precious and shaded stone
Shadowed darkest blackest chrome
Excited Planetary galaxies composed
Orchestrated melodic yellow hues

I Wished Upon a Paper Moon

I wished upon a paper moon

~

I wished upon a paper moon
and fell among the stars
Was whisked away to somewhere good
a place just where you are

Along a winding riverbed
below a willow tree
With fireflies to light the way,
a path for you and me

We laughed as if the world were new
amazed within this scene
Of lily pads and dragonflies

Paper Tiger, Paper Moon

Paper tiger,
Good afternoon
Staring at
The paper moon
Lurking at
The water’s edge,
Capturing the
Beautiful origami bird

Chase the Paper Moon

Truth, well hidden in this light, 
Dances with the wolves, at night
You chase the paper moon
