NaPoWriMo 2013: Day 1

How'd the moon get up there ?
by: Keith Dozier

Slowly, silently, now the moon
Stops speaking to me for a few,
But not before he says:
Hey, thanks for the view !

But I--- what..?
Shhhhh, he says... Thank you
For putting me here.
But, what. I say...
Shhhh, again... See the one you hold
so tight and so dear ?
She believes with all her heart,
You are the one who put me here.

Thank you, moon
For shedding some light
On things of great import.
Helping me see --just how right
She is.

And, just before I say goodnight, moon..
Before my eyes do close.
I'm happy-- very happy,
That you like the location I chose.

  2. I change the sex of the moon in different poems... for this one, it just seemed right for the moon to be a HE... but, I would say most times I also choose to call her a She !
