Back on my WordPress blog site, I have been re-posting many of my older “Moon” poems, and in keeping with my “Moon Theme”, this week, I am presenting “Blue Sky Moon” here on Throwback Friday, a poem of mine from May 2020
Blue Sky Moon (Revised)
I do wonder why
In our blue daylight sky
You are hovering there
Giving us your half stare
From your comfy afternoon chair
And not your usual midnight glare
You, our beaming day time Moon
With your cultured silver spoon
Have you a hidden power source?
And the cunning of a Trojan Horse
Are you able to save us soon?
From our poisoned gloom
You, being so open and brave
Without the cover of your shadowed wave

Hi readers and followers, today I am re-posting another “Moon”poem, but here in this introspective piece (March 2021), the moon seems to be slipping away from me …

Hello readers and followers, … my “Moon” poem theme continues today with a repost from September 2019, and I hope you are all enjoying my collection of “Moonolgues”
A Midday Moon
Surprise, surprise, up there in the sky
Hidden by the glare, of noon’s golden eye
I saw the moon, being cradled by the midday sun
There, glowing like a silver button
As hundreds of human’s passed me unawares
I was staring in wonderment, at our worlds brightest stars
The sun’s white ray’s, wore soft gloves of silk
And the moon was like a baby, enjoying mother’s milk

To The Moon And Back
Well, say hello spring
You’re certainly flashing us your everything
A warm mild morning
Followed by midday sunshine
Then suddenly a wild storm
Lightening and heavy rain
Windy squalls, umbrella’s flying
And down the fat hail came
While the dark sky opened his jaws
I wondered if it was like this
On our faraway moon
So without further ado
I jettisoned myself there
Soaring into space
I left this human race
Just for a short time, anyways
I journeyed to the art gallery
Displaying a real moon show
Wilderness photos from yesteryears
Bold colourful impressions
From out of this world
Ancient traditional stories were also told
Old-time moon movies, on the big screen
Bold sculptures, of every shape imaginable
And a moonscape, seen through artist eyes
The wondrous afternoon escape, was my prize

There was a full moon last, so I thought my poem from June 2019 was an appropriate piece for this weeks ‘Throwback Friday’
Moon Blossom
The old moon knows
After a bitterly cold winter
There’s never a false spring
And Eve’s apple tree always blossoms
Then the full moon shyly shines
Casting moon-shadows upon sacred ground
And asks about the planet’s fading designs
“Where have all the ancient spirits gone”
However, the new moon remains alluring
And his moonbeams spoon our imagination
Yellow ripples shimmering across blue lagoons
Casting moon-shadows over lovers bedrooms
And love eventually conquers us all
When moon blossom ringlets gently fall
