tinpraThe Moon with her pretty smile
So shy, at first, she hides
Then perhaps a dimple, a small smile
When I catch her right it's a lopsided grin
How familiar we grow
Mistress Moon
Until you're laughing with me
But when she opens her mouth wide
Out comes a command I cannot defy
When she opens her mouth wide
Some scream, some howl, some cry
As my Mistress Moon bares her teeth
(Dunno if ppl saw, but Karen has posted a "roll call" to the list, at the end of which she offered a poem from Oz to the moon. That inspired this, which came out considerably darker than I intended even though it's following the lines I wanted. Karen's is a lot more lighthearted and whimsical. I like it muchly. Ah well. *shrugs and goes back on wolf watch*)
