Super Silvery Satellite

WriteBeLight

The Super Moon is finally here!

Closest to Earth in 69 years.

NASA knows, tells us when,

Year 2034, it’ll be back again.

 

The Moon, the Earth’s natural satellite.

In movies likely to cause much fright.

Or, when in love, someone is so,

Capture the Moon with a giant lasso.

 

And, other flowery poetic themes,

How special to ride upon Moon beams.

Down South people get feeling fine.

Mix high octane, boozy Moonshine.

 

On clear nights, when the Moon does rise,

The world appears covered in silvery light.

Those children looking to see behind,

If the Moon's following by their side.

 

Urban legend says it brings out crazies,

Appearing in its very full phases.

I remember when it was all the fashion,

Kids, with pants down, their Moons flashing.

 

Make sure you see it. Please, don’t delay.

Scientists say it’s slowly moving away.

And, when gone, surfers have waves to ride.

Just have to hang ten on the solar tides.

      Thanks Tony36! It is an unusual thing. Sunlight in reverse! Hope it is clear tonight. Thanks for reading.

        Loved your poem! Your rhymes are always so great. I didn't get to see the supermoon, it was very cloudy. Oh well! 🙂 Maybe tonight. But well done!

          Thanks for the input on the rhymes. It is a challenge at times, but fun, nonetheless to try and make my point. I hope you do get to see the moon. The NASA website has some nice pictures. I have had the opportunity to see it when it looked huge like something out of ET, the movie. It is unforgettable. It is cool stuff!

          I remember you. You rolled down the window and flashed me years ago. Heh,hey. Very nicely done. "Riding moon beams" almost brought tears.
