Blue Moon Song

blue moon = 2 full ones in the same month . . .

Like a lollipop of cool wintergreen
there’s a fat full moon on the rise
thinking ahead to twenty-eighteen
how will she gild the night skies?

Having been born in early July
I’ve embraced the moonchild sign
dancing moonbeams lyrically fly
luring my wild child with shine.

“It only happens once in a blue moon”
that’s what moon mystics proclaim
two blue moons will be here soon
sparks to kindle our heart’s flame.

Twenty-eighteen starts with a splash
portending better days to come
some say moon mystique is balderdash
naysayers go sit on your thumb!

All the goodness we’ve been asking for
will grace all our lives before long
brotherly love and an end to war
as we chant the blue moon song.

A wonderful promise of love and hope. I think I've always been fascinated by the moon. My children, for Christmas, a few years ago got me a beautiful telescope. Many are the night that my two girls and I have used it to look at the craters of the moon.

Take care - Dave

Thank you for such artful words of admiration for my lunar-lolly! *smile* (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Alfred Kukitz]

Yes Margie hugs galore but what about that big fat wet one on lips of evermore.

[Norbanus]

No doubt with blue moons everywhere you turn,
this next year has a leg up on good fortune.
Your strong, delightful 'yippee!' says it all.

[barleygirl]

Thank you for yipping at the moon with me, sweet friend! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Jon Roggie]

I have to growl. Birthday falls in the middle. New moon in the sky. Another night of darkness, and I admit I am being overly dramatic.

[barleygirl]

A February b-day? Ah! My now-deceased best friend had his b-day in February, so it brings back feelings of fondness! Thanks for sharing (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Jon Roggie]

Actually, mid January, but I have a niece's daughter born in February.

A blue moon in your birth month is a good sign . . . be prepared to dance in 2018 *wink! wink!*

[Poppy Ruth Silver]

A magickal energy to have two in one month :) There is hope and new beginnings to a full moon and a beauty like nothing else. Here's to 2018 being illuminated and the wrongs being dominated by the rights :)

[barleygirl]

Oh yes! I love the way you speak your hopefulness for 2018! I also love your profile picture which is sorta new-to-me & I'm just noticing & admiring it lately! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Poppy Ruth Silver]

Bless your heart Margie, thank you lovely, hugs...

[外人 (Gaiji..]

Oh my God, on my "Birth-month" this year, I'll get two full moons?! Hope that brings me some luck since lately it clearly looks like I ran out of it ! Can't wait for my 283rd and 284th full moons :)

[barleygirl]

I love your response to finding out about the upcoming blue moons! I feel the same way when it happens in my birth month. Unfortunately, it's never as good an outcome as I imagine, but it's always good to BELIEVE!!!!!!!! *smile* Fondly, Margie

My youngest is a gemini and I can relate to this through her.
Her b-day on the first. The moon is always a real attraction to a child's eyes and a pondering in their thinking as they gaze at it.
Nice write!

[barleygirl]

In my life, there have been many people with b-days that cluster in the june 24 to july 4 range! Nice to hear about your youngest being one of these Gemini-moonchilds! Thanks for sharing (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Rapunzel]

:) Poem about moon always makes me happy....
Am also a moon child (june born) :) and my son too a early July...
i tend to swing with the moods of the moon :P

Hope the new year brings us lots of happiness and many more blue moons :)

[barleygirl]

Very cool! June moonchild can be quite different than a July one! You are close to Gemini, which is also a "two" -- to explain the feeling of being split in moods. I also have the moon moods. Thanks for sharing (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Moon's fairest daughter..]

As a moonchild myself and having being born in early July as well, I appreciate this poem a lot. The first line itself sounds so visually apt and appealing!!! This was enchanting and has a wonderful and optimistic tone to it! Well written!

[barleygirl]

I am delighted to find out the connection between your handle on this website & your birthright. Your enthusiasm causes my heart to float right up there beside Grandmother Moon! *smile* Fondly, Margie
