Why does the moon look so pale and wan
She reminds me of a lovely yet emaciated swan
Is it because she roams without taking rest’
Because she’s been wandering- north, south, east and west..
She looks like a lonely waif, a reflector poised in space
And sometimes to enliven herself, with the clouds, does have a race
And sometimes she hides behind the clouds
As if to hide her face
While sometimes, she races ahead of it
Laughing at it its slow pace.
And in the day she looks so strange
So old and haggard too
As if she’s tired of her permanent job
And would gladly do another trade.
But in the night, she’s her former self
Except when she’s waning away
And then you can hear the sound of a child
Who is regretfully wailing for her to stay…

(what a fabulous verse
a wonderful showcasing
of your poetic talents
genuine originality and creativity..
a lovely read..
i bet you made the moon blush)
lol
thanks for sharing, dear Poet
thank you so much, but i am sure the moon has many more beautiful, wonderful creations dedicated to it than mine, so the question is whether this small attempt is really worth blushing over, since when i read it again, i still find scope for improvement...
