That Old Moon The moon has a face like the clock on my wall It faces the earth looking down on us all Looking over the ships tied up on the quay And squirrals and birds asleep in a tree It looks down on all creatures large or small The barking dog who lives next door The cat who chases the dirty old rat And last but not least, it looks after old me. |

Yo Johan, That moon sure gets around. He looks after me here in Philly too. He always has, since I'm some kind of night creature. Your poem works very well for me. Bobby |

Hah! AND, my friend, keeps me awake. I am one of those fools who believes that sleep can not come with a full moon, beautiful as it is! Great write Jan |

Words can create a paper moon or reveal the moon for us to wonder, seems here the moon looks with peace and hopes we will pause to let the words light in and let it's music be a welcome song, much enjoyed the song and music, Bloodline |

Your words revolve around the reflections of your verse's power. |
