Twenty-nine and a half days Seven percent of the whole I'm told is the time it takes Yes, that's what they say true For a complete lunar cycle That is the light she reflects The time it takes from one And they say she has two regions New Moon to another one Terrae - the rugged highlands A synodic month to complete And Maria - the smoothed lows phases of the moon faces of the moon phases of the moon faces of the moon phases of the moon faces of the moon phases of the moon faces of the moon phases of the moon faces of the moon phases of the moon faces of the moon phases of the moon faces of phases Moonlight, mystical moonlight She comes from behind the lemon tree Glowing with a borrowed light She always does, partly or in full view Crescent, half, gibbous n' full Promise of another day she holds free Phases leave me ever wishful Once a month she earns a night's leave p hhh aaa ssssss eee sss o pp hhhhh aaaaaaa ssssssssss eeeeeee sssss ft pp hhhhhhh aaaaaaaaaa ssssssssssssss eeeeeeeeee sssssss he pp hhhhhhhh aaaaaaaaaaaa ssssssssssssssss eeeeeeeeeeee ssssssss mo pp hhhhhhhh aaaaaaaaaaaa ssssssssssssssss eeeeeeeeeeee ssssssss on pp hhhhhhh aaaaaaaaaa ssssssssssssss eeeeeeeeee sssssss fa pp hhhhh aaaaaaa ssssssssss eeeeeee sssss ce p hhh aaa ssssss eee sss s o f t h e moon [This message has been edited by Sudhir Iyer (edited 08-18-2000).] |

Very interesting, and special. As a moon lover, I appreciate it much. Catalinamoon Words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling, like dew, upon a thought produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions think. Lord Byron |

Thanks Paula for coming in on this one... history has it that in response to one of Marge's very fine full moon poems (she has written some most excellent ones), I had the temerity to say that I would come up with a phases of the moon poem and dedicate it to her... so this is just what followed... and I had a heck of a time with the graphic... looked different if my screen definition is 640x480 and yet different in 800x600... but the poem was pure fun... (shut up, sudhir, nobody asked you about it : regards, sudhir |
