Speak to me, Moon, of what you see.
Oh! I forgot; you CAN'T see. Pardon me.
Then speak to me, Moon, of what you hear.
Damn, you are deaf also, Moon. How queer!
Ok then. Speak to me, Moon, of what you feel,
as you gaze down on our cities of concrete and steel.
What's that you say, Moon? You don't like what you see.
Well, I didn't build them, so please don't blame ME! ! |

after reading your poem Sir, it reminds me of this nursery rhymes about the Moon..i recited in front of my classmates when i was 6years old.. I SEE THE MOON AND THE MOON SEE'S ME, GOD BLESS THE MOON AND GOD BLESS ME'.......vow
Saw it in your suggested poem list. Enjoyed the humor. Moon may not speak or see but he is a good listener for sure. Otherwise so many of us wouldn't be talking to him!
LOL. Wow Bri, first meals on wheels, then some others, and let's get back the Mr. Moon! It could a Miss, or maybe Mister. Hey, can you write a poem about the Sun as well? This was hilarious! 10!
Ah! If the reflective little lady could speak we would all get a spoonful. Imaginative write, Bri. Read Kim Barney's poem mentioning this one!
Moon is the witness to all change. From thick forest to twinkling nights on earth...even if it doesn't speak...it has seen all.
Cont...It can even tingle the mind. A very witty write. Beautifully crafted.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
HOW GOOFY OF ME........BRI, THAT IS. my mind suddenly, after receiving most of the comments below this one, REALIZED that i made an 'ERROR'! i said in line #2 that Moon CAN'T see. BUT then in the last stanza i seem to have forgotten that Moon is blind, as i use the words gaze and see! ! ! ! oh, well. i guess human readers sometimes see or hear what they WANT to see or hear, despite what is actually being said or written! ! ! bri :) i guess i could say the gazing and seeing are not exactly THAT.
