The moon said to the lamppost
"It's 6 in the morning
I'll soon be a ghost
My act of disappearing
It's been a quiet night
No wind no rain
I looked so bright
Not at all a plain Jane
What about you
Any problems at all
Did you shine through
Was it a good call?"
'Sigh! Such a long night
I was off, on, off, on
Seemed no end in sight
Till they called Mr. John
He fixed a loose wire
That a bird had pulled out
She needed to acquire
For her nest to be stout
But that woman next door
Started shouting at me
"Stop blinking stupid lamp!"
Shouts at birds too. She's crazy!'
Miss Moon how lucky you are
You have bright natural beauty
You and your friend Miss Star
But I'm always at Man's mercy
Well, I leave on the dot at 7
Will see you again soon
Switching off will be heaven
Goodbye friend, Miss Moon.'
I went to get the newspaper early in the morning and saw this 'conversation scene'. I took it with my old iphone5 camera.

Quite an interesting idea and so well penned ☺
Thank you.
A beautiful anthropomorphic child-like scene here Rozina, a most magically written conversation.
Bravo, and I hope that all is well!
Thank you. All is well. I hope everything is good for you too.

Amazing photo: You wrote well to the prompt and its demands. I like how natural your rhyming seems. Very skilled snd fine.
Thank you.
You are welcome.
Nice to know they're going green in heaven. Mind you, been awhile since I've seen the moon. Do hate flickering lamps, mind you.
On clear nights the moon is lovely. It's warm so it's nice to walkabout outside except for mosquitos! Thank you for reading.
Great imagination and poem.
Thank you.
one does not have to struggle to determine how, where. why and when you found the inspiration for these very entertaining and novel words Roz .. and just between you n me .. I wish I had found this page before as I would have liked to have used your photo for the cover of one of my anthologies .. with your permission of course ........ 🙂

Thank you. No worries, you can use the photo anytime. I took the photo with my old iPhone 5 camera when I went out early in the morning to get the newspaper.
