Poetry Thursday 46 - Moon's a Balloon

 Some describe people who behave slightly differently as being ruled by the moon. 

History suggests we all are. 

Where do you fit? 



The Moon’s a Balloon

 

If we spent time looking at life

and what we’d done with it

then collected the good bits,

the poignant bits,

the romantic bits,

the happy bits,

collected them together in a gossamer envelope,

each one of us would make a moon.

 

A personal moon a permanent satellite,

waxing or waning,

representing youth and old age.

Blue for the emotional trials of life,

and Wolf for those times of strife.

visual signs of what is inside,

a moon describing life’s ride.

 

A personal moon visible to all,

but with its own explaining,

no cold moon, no beaver or hunter’s moon,

perhaps a strawberry moon for the final pudding.
