I wrote this in the 5th grade, under the inspiration of animated planets. |
| Child moon and woman sun Part until the day is done And then they sit upon the air Chanting a silent bedtime prayer But later, in the dark of night, Child moon shone very bright. Everyone except for mars Woke up to watch child moon and the stars. Child moon awoke to a crowd of friends Huddled around his twilight bed As he glowed till the night had past And woman sun rushed in, aghast, She said, laughing, with a sigh- “Everyone’s up, why aren’t I?” The other planets went back to bed As woman sun politely said, “Child moon, it isn’t right To light up the day and not the night.” But child moon didn’t make a peep, For he had drifted off to sleep. Woman sun didn’t waste any time For she hurried off to shine her shine But as she continued, normal as it seemed, Child moon, for the first time, dreamed. |
