Tonight’s quarter moon, through the trees, in my backyard.

Celestial light, so golden, in the night

You shine brilliantly, our summer light

With Jupiter to our left, ashimmer

And Venus to our right, aglimmer

The skies, filled, with worlds, unknown

You guide us to them, from your throne

 

Author’s Note:  Tonight’s sky is quite the story teller!  To the left of the moon is Jupiter, to the lower right is the star Spica and lower still is Venus, and above is the star Arcturus!  I hope you get a chance to see them all  🙂

They sat me down in this room
Said all I could do was look
Silly people, don’t they know
I’m all about the books

I found one filled with pictures
I’m still learning how to read
I picked one with a dinosaur
I really like this one, indeed!

It has very colorful, bright pages
And with the sunlight as my lamp
I can sit here, for hours and hours
It’s so much better than any camp

There are just so many books
I wonder, which one will be my next
Maybe I’ll try to read it out loud
Better choose one, complete with text

Swallowed by Darkness ~ #freeverse #moon

You disappeared, out of sight

Swallowed by the darkened sky

A sliver, you couldn’t hold your ground

Even Venus, with her brilliance

Was no match for the storm

On this clouded summer night

 

Author’s Note:  I was able to catch a glimpse of the young moon and Venus, until the storm clouds took over, and they disappeared into the night.

Dense Speculations ~ #poetry #AugustWriting

I couldn’t help but wonder
What lies beneath the fog

So tightly packed together
Right through it, I would slog

Making my way across it
Not knowing what’s hidden below

But that would just be stupid
Still, I’d really like to know

Perchance, what’s underneath
Is a secret, and I should wait

Or maybe there is nothing
Perhaps, I shouldn’t speculate

This usually causes trouble
Lord knows, that’s not what I need

But, maybe, just a little peek?
Seems it’s me who’s dense, indeed!
