Silver Moon

I'd like to grab the moon
And look at it up close.
Study all its craters,
Of which it seems to boast.

Turn it in my fingers
Blink at its bright light,
Hang it out the front door,
Then wait again for night.

The man of the moon will come
Knocking on the door,
And ask me what I hung
His precious moon up for!

I'd say,"I'm truly sorry,
I swear I'll give it back!
It's just that it's so beautiful!
Something that I lack."

"If you'd like," He'd say to me,
"I can give you a shard."
"NO!" I'd cry in protest,
"It's already too marred!"

He'd shrug his graceful shoulders,
Elegantly bow,
Smile soft and say,
"I have to go now."

He'd kiss my hand softly,
Then with moon tucked underarm,
He'd whisper in my ear,
"I'll come back for you In time."

I'd wave goodbye sadly,
As he quickly turned about,
And watch with pure sorrow
As his silver cloak flew out.

That night I'd watch the sky,
Intensely staring up,
A star would fall into my hand,
I'd smile and not give up.

Wow , I like how you formed your characters . The Man in the Moon has a grace all his own and the main characters fansination with the moon is similar to my own . Only that the moon is more like a guide to me than an object to observe . Nicely done Alverrann !

[Calibaster]

I have always felt like the man in the moon would make a great character, and I'm glad you agree! Thanks!

[Moon]

You are welcome ! :)

This is awesome! I always felt drawn to the moon like this character; I love the way you portrayed Man in the moon.

[Calibaster]

Thanks!

OH MY HECKNESS! I heart this so much! I love how you portrayed the man of the moon! I would be ecstatic if the man of the moon knocked on my door, but of course he wouldn't have any reason to come to my house though. Great poem. I think it's my favorite of yours so far!

[Calibaster]

All you have to do is take the moon. They do it in Despicable Me!

[Starscraper]

Yeah but I haven't got shrinking ray!

[Calibaster]

I do.

[Starscraper]

Well would it be too hard to let me borrow it then?

[Calibaster]

I'm not sure ... let me consult with my minions.

[Starscraper]

I'll be waiting.

[LunarSong]

Oh my gosh, this is the best poem I've ever read! You keep outdoing yourself!

[Calibaster]

I didn't think it was that good!

[LunarSong]

Well I do.
